craft still-life

As I began playing with the settings on my camera, I began to discover how different a photo can look on Manual setting than Auto setting.  You can get much different looks and moods when the camera is on Manual.  When I was working on some of my Christmas presents, I took this still-life of my craft area and I just love how it turned out.  The lighting is just so different than anything I've ever done, and I like it.
