Evening Sun on Wardrobe Doors

I guess this counts as continuous light and still life.
Do you think it would look better with warmer looking light? As I remember, the light looked like this in reality.

Hi, Marcus,

Wonderful 1939 Art Deco look to it. The color rendition as is fits so well with that.

It is very paradoxical from a standpoint of perspective. It is difficult to rationalize the appearance of the two pulls (and their shadows) with where we assume they "must" be (on the two doors, equally spaced across the gap. In a sense, it is evocative (in a mild way) of the paradoxes in Escher's etchings.

I find it an extremely handsome piece.

Thank you very much. This was shot handheld but if the weather is sunny tomorrow I will set up the camera on tripod and use the remote shutter release to get a sharper version.
