Ridiculous camera settings--I really should pay more attention to that! Hand-held at 2 seconds,,,,ah c'mon! Don't I know any better?
crop, levels, hue and sat on yellow and reds, sharpen, resize, sharpen
Not your everyday setting--in any century. Servants required.
Entering it because I need to maintain my 5.3 average and I can't stand another day without an update button....oh, and this is as close as I could come to anything affluent--even if the affluent related to this picture are long gone and deeply buried. :-)

Well I predicted my score pretty well, I think.
Yes the red is oversaturated on the portrait--noticed it too late.
I like the grain.
This is taken in the historic home of General Lee in Arlington--had I crossed the velvet rope to add people or remove the small painting, I'm sure I wouldn't have got home in time to submit this to the challenge. :-)

Nice this would have been great with the addition of people. also the slanting lines of the book case are distracting It makes the room feel slanted. I would have also removed the small photograph on the wall.
Very elegant dining room. Seems a little blurry, though, and the reds look oversaturated as the man in the portrait appears to have a horrible rash on his face.
