Challenge: Room (Advanced Editing IV)
Collection: Who-Cares Challenge Entries
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Location: Westin Riverwalk Hotel

Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/25
Galleries: Still Life
Date Uploaded: Jul 29, 2005

 I always wanted to take a picture of this, but never got around to it. This was my chance to see if I could capture it. It's actually in the Westin Riverwalk Hotel in San Antonio, which is owned by the company I work for. The light was low, so I had to use 800 film. Plus a hand-held camera at 1/25 shutter speed (yikes) . . but I didn't want to take my tripod in there, so I had to go for the best. I guess I'm thinking it's kind of "iffy" by dpChallenge standards, but I'm hoping it does okay.

Very smooth, pleasing lines in this one. The colors are nice too, with the flowers providing a needed spot of contrast. Well done.

It really is a beautiful room! Its a shame there are shadows (from a flash?) This one was a little hard to get a good shot with the time frame and all.

Interesting shapes and a nice image. Personally, though, I find the decor a bit on the garish side. 6

Interesting lines. The lighting fromt he left is odd. I think there is a shot there, but not quite this one.

This is so stunning. I love the staircase - your eye folows it straight up. The architecture is lovely as well. Great tone and light!! 10
