I really like this - it seems very zen to me. Looking at it makes me feel peaceful inside.

I would've cropped the flowers on the right and I would've gotten rid of the light object behind the candle in the left window. Both are distracting in this rather nice composition. 5

While I enjoy the mystery of the candles in the window and not knowing what that wheel thing is in the center, this seems a tiny bit too complicated for a zen image (to me - hope you don't mind the comment). The parts I react to most are the partial flower on the right, the horse shoe near the flowers, remote control or telephone, and a feeling of imbalance from the empty space around the bottom compared to no empty space at the top. What I like is: the candles (already mentioned), the colors (BEAUTIFUL colors of blue on the window frame!!), and the clarity. It's a very nice effort and I really hope my comments are helpful. If not, please accept my apologies. Wait: Another thing I like is the curtain in the left - it adds to the mystery and life :-)
