I've never seen anything like that before...how beautiful :)
I really like these tones and the transition of the dark background to wood grain.

You know I think you do these interior shots so well. I remember others taken (it looks like) at the same table, and the contrast and tones are so rich.

@GJC: Keene eye Mr. Holmes, I use this table often because there is usually something on it, the natural light is decent, and there is room to set up a tripod if required.
