5. Fits the theme well enough, and there are no blatant 'you suck!' flaws to it, but neither does it really grab me for any reason at all. For reasons of composition, cropping, or subject choice, it's just a photo, and doesn't do especially much for me, aesthetically. It's, uhm, kind of boring. It does look a little like it'd fit right in in a corner of an article in Better Homes and Gardens, or some other interior design magazine, though.
The color and lighting are nice, and I also like hwo the vase is set at the point where the tabletop's lines converge, but there's really no central thing-to-look-at. The vase might have been central, but it's been arranged far down in a corner, with glare that distracts from its own very busy pattern. The sofas might be, but the lighting makes them fade into the background, largely. The lamp and picture are both off-center enough and unlit enough to not quite be focal points either. |
