yep ... my setup is still a ways off. I was trying for some shadow play 
with the palm. I need to widen the camera angle AND back the wall off, 
but then the top part of the view will be left with some space to fill. 
A painting didn't fit the bill ... LOL that's how the Monet found it's 
way into this scene. I'm going to have to come up with a cupboard or 
sideboard. If I use a little focal blur, maybe I can get away with 
something low-ish detail. The up side, a little floor in the view would 
probably be a good thing.

since you're not the 1st to mention that I probably ought to have a 
closer look at the model. Don't like bagels either ... maybe some fruit 
would look better.
