| This place is beautiful. Nice crisp colors, and I like the glow of the lamps. |

What a grand vision of Old World splendour!
The lighting from the various lamps, chandeliers and respective surface reflections are a little stronger, perhaps, than one would expect in a reading room. The focus, IMO, could be less ambiguous, especially on carpet and ceiling.
Subtracting this, what remains is an exclusive pleasure in brass, leather and mahagony, reserved for the few, not the many (I'll digress and speculate that the truly erudite likely do not thrive in such spectacular airs).
Very topical, grand perspective, great historical record. |

OMG, I've taken this exact same picture... it's Chatsworth House if I'm not mistaken. In my photo, you can tell that the picture at the far end is of Henry VIII. You also seem to have picked up loads of glare. Very hard picture to expose for because of all the lights and shadows. Because of your over-exposure, you've lost loads of detail on the bookshelves. The photo could definitely do with sharpening. The composition is a bit boring... one of the shots I tried of this room involved moving to the side more and changing to portrait orientation rather than landscape so I could capture more of the ceiling and floor. I would then have been tempted to crop it so that the far end of the room would be at the bottom of my frame to emphasise the luxuriousness of the ceiling.
I found the entrance hall with the staircase a much more photogenic place... if you take a photo using a column as support, the motion blur on all the tourists is delicious. 5 |

lovely shot and it really captures the feeling of
nostalgia :)
I would have loved to see it with all lamps turned on though.
Still, you did a great job ! 9 |

| I like the composition, and the woordwork, but I would have rated higher if the lighting fixtures hadn't been so bright (and casting a bright white spot on the left door). |

| This is a beautiful room. All the light, seems a bit overpowering to me. Nice job though. |

| Wow, great photo! Love the wide-angle perspective, and the fact that you included the open doors in the foreground. |

| Good idea for the challenge. Great perspective for the set up. The only thing I can complain about is that the candle lights on the left side seem a little "hot". |

| Stunning picture and very well done. I like the perspective and detail you've captured, but it doesn't say nostalgia to me. |
