How eerie and delicious — like an illustration for a tale by Edgar Allen Poe!

And of course I meant Edgar ALLAN Poe. (Blame it on the ghostly misleading vibes!) Great photo. Of course very curious about how you came to be in that haunted mansion.

Ha ha, Barbara! That is our dining room, only made ghostly and mansion like by the lighting and photo editing app.

Before reading the above, I was going to say it’s lovely to know where Poe wrote ‘The Raven’… (wonderful effect!)
“Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
`Surely,’ said I, `surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore –
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; –
‘Tis the wind and nothing more!'”

This is strange, or perhaps not. My first thought was Edgar Allan Poe, and then I saw Barbara had said the same thing. And Carin too! Well, you achieved the desired effect. Love the details — the arched window, the light with its reflection in the surface of the desk, the plant edging in menacingly from the right … Looking at it I want to keep poking around to make out what’s there in the room — but also I feel a little creeped out by it! I’d love to see the original dining room without the effects. I’m sure it looks much more welcoming.

Love the post-post processing techniques you chose for this image, Elizabeth! I’d be willing to bet it was a magnificent image in its original state too!
