Lovely vibrant blues in this eye catching composition. 7
03/16/2009 05:33:26 PM
This is really neat. I love that blue.
03/16/2009 05:16:34 PM
Lovely colour and light.
03/16/2009 04:57:28 PM
Great color here, the composition feels a little awkward, maybe too tight?
03/15/2009 06:47:44 PM
Nice wall colour, and a good photo to document crete culture.
03/15/2009 05:29:25 PM
Wonderful blue, interesting decorations and curtain.
03/15/2009 04:39:56 PM
Very cool perspective
03/15/2009 12:09:11 PM
The image feels a little cramped at the bottom. But the colors are interesting.
03/15/2009 06:12:01 AM
Nice light here, an interesting house.
03/15/2009 05:53:15 AM
I've come back to this one a couple of times, like the shadow, great detail, color is really nice, I know it's part of the "scene" but that lamp at the upper left is distracting, nothing you could about that
03/15/2009 05:03:10 AM
Intersting scene.
03/15/2009 02:30:54 AM
somehow it looks to me like this ws taken underwater lol


it may be intersting (I mean the room) but the concept is a bit chaotic...


regards ;)

Very welcoming.
03/14/2009 01:40:05 PM
This room looks like it's under water! I love Crete, and Chania was one of my favorite towns.
03/14/2009 01:31:21 PM
Wonderful warm colors, makes me want to visit Crete, of course that's not too hard a thing to accomplish.. 7
03/14/2009 10:17:48 AM
I like the colors and simplicity. Nice shot.
03/14/2009 09:34:25 AM
Love the blue. This shot makes me want to see more of this architecture.
03/13/2009 09:42:15 PM
Sorta like being inside a fishbowl
03/13/2009 08:26:02 PM
You nailed the feeling perfectly. What is it about out of the way places that they value color so much. I've seen it all over the world. Nice work!
03/13/2009 04:28:37 PM
really like the color...
03/13/2009 02:26:04 PM
Wow the walls are so blue. Nice use of natural lighting.
03/13/2009 10:18:37 AM
Good use of shapes and colors, very nice!
03/13/2009 07:21:49 AM
Great shot! This could be the subject of a Cezanne painting! The color is spectacular.
03/12/2009 11:33:42 PM
great color and composition just like a magazine
03/12/2009 09:41:15 PM
I like the colors and the simplicity of this. Very down to earth and homey feeling
03/12/2009 07:23:28 PM
something about the colors is perfect for me 10
03/12/2009 07:12:55 PM
Wonderful looking old place! It's good to see some character still exists.
03/12/2009 04:44:05 PM
This is different. I like how you chose a less than extremely wide focal length, it really adds a feeling of intimacy in the room that you don't really get with architectural shots.
03/12/2009 04:15:24 PM
Gorgeous light
03/12/2009 04:11:27 PM
interesting having blue walls but not a lot else
03/12/2009 01:08:21 PM
I've always dreamed of going to Crete. Love the color of the wall.
03/12/2009 06:09:01 AM
nice colors and lighting, i would suggest using a wide angle lens here to get more of the room in the frame.
03/12/2009 05:49:56 AM
Nice capture of colors.
03/12/2009 04:20:42 AM
Very nice light and colors, but the PoV makes it less interesting.
03/11/2009 09:06:16 PM
Perfect lighting and colors
03/11/2009 07:39:54 PM
great colors, wish this was done with a wider lens to show more of the room.
03/11/2009 05:01:04 PM
Mundanely interesting. :) The blue is wonderful... seems cut off too much at the bottom.

Not voting yet.
03/11/2009 04:10:08 PM
Good tones but doesn't say much to me.
03/11/2009 02:40:30 PM
The blue is great but I would like to see some more of the room/ area. Too much cut off at the bottom.
03/11/2009 02:36:47 PM
That is a very beautiful blue color.
03/11/2009 01:51:43 PM
Great shot, nice lighting!
03/11/2009 01:43:06 PM
Wow thats a bright room. Must make someone happy to live there tho! I love all the interest in this picture. Nice!
03/11/2009 08:42:21 AM
The colors and lighting here are excellent. I would have liked to have seen this cropped in just a bit, as the left hand side does not add strongly to the photo. I love the relationship between the mirrors, door hanging and flowers though.
03/11/2009 06:26:15 AM
I feel like I am missing something since I cannot see the floor.
03/11/2009 03:37:00 AM
bit too much going on in this image to really determine what specifically is the subject. good luck: 5.
