Thanks for all the comments. Well...we will call this one a learning experience. To be honest, It didn't sink in that this was a picture of a picture. I spent hours on the restoration of this photo of my aunt and thought, "What a nice memorial to her", seeing as it was Memorial Day. Just thought I'd explain a little. Again, the comments are appreciated. I, obviously, have lots to work on.
You could have done more with this picture - the fuzzy rug underneath detracts - The crackle wall is perfect- Those shadows on the wall could have been a great part of the image.
This is just a picture of a picture in a frame, and not extremely well done. The harsh shadow that falls across the background was probably created by a flash. I just don't feel this is a photo but more just a copy of someone elses photo albeit it is in a frame. Sorry.
I really like the cropping done here. Fits well. I would like to see some diffuse lighting up on the left side also, to help bring out the frame detail and contrast. Alittle bright in the bottom right corner
