I created this setup thinking about the ones that enjoy this Christmas season and why.
Thanks for your comments...

I rather like this. My favorite parts are the white feather in front of the leather bound books (great texture contrast) and the little yellow jelly bean that looks to me like a nose for the glasses to perch on. I think the natural light really works with this subject.

Thanks Toad, NT...
Toad, I am happy that you found the setup interesting. This was actually my second try. The first one only had feathers all over, but after considering what I wanted to say, I added the spectacles and sweets... My idea was symbolize that children and elderly are the ones that enjoy Christmas tales because in some way they are innocent spirits. A very romantic idea, but I am happy that I tried to use symbols...
About the yellow bean... I saw it the same...
You have given me one of my best complements this year Toad. I don't have direct sunlight at home, and I have been working to create this effect of morning light with my flash and white balance. I am very happy that you saw it as natural light...
that was the effect I was after.
