Greetings from the Critique Club! :)

This is a very lovely image...warm and inviting. I love the lighting and the whole range of colors present. Technically it is very well-done, focus is sharp, contrast is good. Your picture is very well composed...the rugs seem to lead you right through the middle and into the back. At first glance, I thought I'd rather see it follow more of the rule of thirds, but as I study it more and more I think the central composition is the best choice for this particular shot.

The fact that it does lead you right through to a doorway and wall is both good and bad. I can understand that it doesn't really lead to a specific point of interest, but then again, there are some shots that just really don't have or need a major focal point, as the entire image is a focal point on the whole. I can see this working well for stock or for a magazine spread.

Again, I think it's lovely and the score seems appropriate for this challenge. I'm sure voters were looking for more "wow" than this kind of serenity and substance.

Keep shooting and if you have any questions let me know. :)

Take care,
Laurie

house beautiful style shot. well taken but rather sterile - more stock like than art. Just an observation, nothing else. 7
