Creating a Mood with Window Light

[InspiringFotos]

Most the time when I take pictures by windows I get over exposure or reflections off the window. In this assignment I took about 12 pictures of these daisies in a vase. I tried various types of lighting from the window by adjusting the blinds in different directions (i.e. left, right, open, close). My best shot of the daisies in the vase was with direct lighting from the left window. This picture was taken with my Kodak Z712 IS Zoom Digital f/3.6, 1/10 sec., ISO-400, 26 mm. What type of mood do you get from this direct window lighting?

I get a sense of warmth, but with a feeling of brightness from looking at the daises.  I did find though that looking at whatever the vase was sitting on seemed to be a bit out of place relative to the rest of the picture.

Since, I was just practicing window lighting - I took this vase from the kitchen and move it to the corner of the game room where there was two windows. This way I could practice different light from each window and different directions. Since there was no table in that room I used a bar stool instead.
