Wonderful lighting, I personally would have liked to seen the frame adjusted just a little to the left,

Very Renaissanceish lighting/color. I like how this is not centered. A tripod and longer shutter speed might have helped here, as the flash seems to have made a bit of a hot spot on th eroof.

Attractive photo. The title makes me wonder where this was taken.

I love it. Great color, if not just a tad too bright white in the center.

the chandelier is awkwardly resting on the edge of the photo, and is not hanging vertically, making this feel out of balance.

beautiful place. too bad about the hot spot. i think you should either be pulled farther back or be closer in.

Is that bright light your flash or from the chandelier? Why decadence? I like the warm feel of the shot.

Might have been more interesting if you'd zoomed in on just part of the curve, with more emphasis on the details. Nice glowing, warm colors.

I like the color, helps add mood. I would like it alot better if it was either croped differently or taken from another angle. Also a litte distracting cutting off the light fixtrue .

There's a lot of red, which make it feels too saturated, but the detail is superb.

Well, nice shot, but bad cropping on the bottom. Kind of uninteresting composition.. no focus on a subject.
