| I love the shadow because it emphasizes the depth of the room. |

| I like this picture. The color and focus are very strong. The lighting seems a bit harsh to me, though. ...I can imagine the table lamp with the shade removed sitting on the floor just out of the frame. A little softer light would have worked better IMHO. I am one of the 94 who scored this a 6. (Interestingly, I chose an earth tone setting for my shot, too. Yours, however is much better.) |

this is a nice shot, composition is good, could use a wider angle.
the lighting is bad though, the harsh shadows are not helping.
try using a softbox ( white bedsheet ) to soften the light, works great for shots like these.
congrats on your top 25 :) |

Nice shot overall Deb. You have a knack for these warm, earth tone type shots. Great long shadow and nice overall lighting. Would like to have seen more of the room but this still works well and easily fits the challenge. My eyes are drawn secondarily to the reflections in the window. Cloning those out may have been nice - but probably a very minor point. Good shot and who can complain about another 6.+ score. |

Composition
Nice composition but I'd like to see it a little wider. Not really much to say
Technical stuff (exposure, dof, lighting etcâ€Â¦)
Beautiful lighting, enough to get the nice long shadow which is very important compositionally, but not enough to light the vase too harshly. Seems perfectly exposed, everything else spot on.
Meeting the challenge
Yeah, its wide enough and empty enough to not be a corner so of course
Other
I find the reflections of the frames in the windows distracting. If I were you i'd clone them out.
My personal opinion
If I'd voted on this challenge, I would have picked this out as one of yours. Your shots like this are always so beautiful (as is this one). Great to have a "signature shot" based on fundamental photography skills such as subtle lighting and tones rather than just the content. Pretty impressive that you can score a 6+ and not even make a dent on your profile page! |

| This was one of my favourite images in the challenge. I really like the warmth of the earthy tones and the great shadows generated by the seemingly single light source. I think you've composed this very well, because there is a lot of "reflectivity" in the picture: the two windows, vase versus shadow, angular floor tiles versus nice curved neck of the vase. I think it was a wise choice to clone out the sockets (and litter). Great shot. |

This is a lovely shot. Great warm colors. I love the shadow. Nice placement of your "object". You met the challenge in every way, which your score reflects! BTW - that's 5 challenges in a row above a 6 score. I smell a ribbon soon! |

| nice photo. great texture and color in the tile floor and on the vase. I think the room may have been more powerful without the windows, but oh well. Great image otherwise. |
