72. I like the way the color scheme is distinct for each object

It sets things apart yet everything is consistent by lighting and intensity. This distinction of objects is something I've seen prominently in the works of Van Gogh and Rousseau, not so much with the Impressionists, and taken to the extreme by the Cubists. Your take on it is very pleasing to the eye.
