Great shot. Love the lighting and colors. Congratulations on your red ribbon! I know, it's a bit too late.

I think this is a very difficult picture to take. Getting the light right takes a lot of skill. Nicely done. Great photo. The only things I might change are the spot of light at the top right and maybe crop a little off the bottom to remove the strongest part of the light at the bottom under the (not sure what it is) piece of furniture. The light does define the bottom of the object but with a modest crop this will still happen but the harshest part of the light will be gone.

Gary: you are indeed a potent force. A master at excecuting your ideas. It is like you have the very pulse of the voters to entertain them with amazing and creative images with impeccable technique, but above it all, it is your creativity that shines. Like the man with the golden touch. Here, you revert to simplicity but mange to bring the essence of the old in most warm and charming manner.

Beautiful! Great lighting and colors, and very nice composition.
Post actions
Love the light, a stronger focal point would have made it better. I gave it an 8 anyway.
Post actions
The composition and filtering light is super cool. Excellent!
Post actions
Very pleasurable to look at for a while, enjoying all the details. I am curious about the portion of the image on the window's right side, what is causing the texture and color difference?
Post actions
hmm sunrays? are they real, or not? it's a nice shot regardless. well done. very old feel you get, but where's grandma?
