I bet you love living here. I think two things would make this photo stronger.
1 - Move that grill
2- Tighter crop to isolate the window frame and the view.
I don't think you needed the kitchen actually in the photo.
Great caputure on the sunset, and exposure control. I have to admit though, with the kitchen in the photo....it's very interesting. I've never seen a true granite tile installation on the east coast. Dig the cherry & stainless.
Now I would get the washing up done if I lived there, I'm sure :-) First reaction is that the square aspect ration of the shot is pecualiar - but in fact it serves to present the picture through the windows as something alien to this interior domestic scene - helped of course by the interio flash illumination. Makes that sunset (rise?) seem even more other-worldly. Good work keeping enough bounce of the glass, and not quite over-powering tthe existing interior light.
Hot spots from the flash distract, perhaps a shot made closer to the window may have worked better. What a wonderful view you have... I 'd love to have a kitchen view like that!
It would have looked better if you had only the window frame in the "frame". I think that the kitchen detracts a lot from the photo. The view from the window is very beautiful though, I like how you captured the color in the sky :)
Nice sunset but you should have zoomed in to leave out most of the kitchen area. It's hard to make this kind of window frame interesting however since there's not much to it.
i really dont care for granite countertops...or paper towels...or hand so...OH!!! look at that sky! thats pretty nice...its a bit over powered by the kitchen (and the flash :)
Lovely view. I'd probably like this image a bit better with less of the inside features & more emphasis on the view. Even just taking some of the plain top area away pulls my eyes more into the window. Considering the difference in lighting between inside & out...nice job of exposinig both well. Also, I would have rotated this ever so slightly to the left to level out the water line.
Beautiful view, captured at a great time. I think it would have been stronger with 1) no inside lights on, to hide the kitchen stuff, and 2) more of a square positioning to the window frame.
