We had lunch at this little inn/pub and on the way out I saw this imcredibly beautiful image. It reminded me of a Vermeer painting without any people.

Photographers comments: The picture was taken in the dining room of a small English style Bed & Breakfast Inn outside of San Francisco. I did not rearrange anything before taking the picture; this is exactly how I found the setting.

That's a dining table on the lower right. Because of the slow shutter speed I set my camera on the table and used it as a tripod. I received several comments asking about the chairs on the left - they look out of place (too high) because they were on top of a bench in order to get them out of the way during the daytime when they weren't needed for dining.

My thanks to everyone for their voting and comments. This was my first submission to DP Challenge and I found it challenging, enlightening and a lot of fun.

Fantastic job! So unplanned looking. (7)

I love the lighting and the angle of this shot, it gives a really nice feel. The "blown out" area in the window helps to add to the darkness of the shadow areas. Nice Job. Score 8 ------- Corey

Simplicity..I like this. The sun rays on the wall is really great.

really really pretty

I love it. It's very calming, the colors are great, the angle.. everything! You get a 10!

Interesting sense of space... it's a bit disorienting the way the chairs are so high, the bed so low, and everything is so close together. Very moody.

Great shadows and perspective.

I like the subtleties of color in this one. Very nice. Small nit: don't really like the bench in the lower right corner, but what the heck!

I just love photos like this. They seem to express strong moods.

I like this shot, but it leaves me wondering what the chairs are doing there.
06/18/2002 08:30:00 PM
I really like the old world feel of this photo. The table in the lower right of the frame is a bit distracting but it sort of grounds me to a position which I kind of like.
06/18/2002 04:24:00 PM
Wow... I love the way the light comes through that window onto the wall.
06/18/2002 01:13:00 AM
Different. Really Different!

Good composition.

interesting compositional elements; nice natural light. I like the photo very much.

Looks like a place with a lot of character. I would like to see more of this place.
06/17/2002 06:11:00 PM
excellent!!
06/17/2002 05:51:00 PM
good interesting composition
06/17/2002 04:34:00 PM
This is a very nice shot... I love the tone and mood as well as the shadows cast by the windows in this view... the only thing I can see that could have possibly made this shot a bit better would have been to lift the camera up off the wooden surface just enought to allow the depth of field to focus the wood survace just a lilttle more.. .good shot!

what a peace this picture conveys
06/17/2002 10:12:00 AM
I love the composition but wish there were more striking shadows.

Very nice use of light. You controled the exposure very well and kept the subtility of the texture on all surfaces. Overall, a good interior.
