Great lighting and interesting subject, I think cutting the left side of the chair out may hurt the score but still a very nice image.

I'm not all that fond of the text style/placement on the card, but I love the picture!

Nice setup, but with all the bars and shadows, it ends up a bit cluttered for what should be a scene of simplicity.

I like this. It's a nice departure from all the landscapes in this challenge.

A good scene for a museum postcard, plenty of interest without too much detail. I'm not too sure about the chair that is not quite in the frame - makes the composition slightly unbalanced. I definitely don't care for the font - a postcard of a Shaker home would, to me, need a much simpler style, and whilst on the subject ot text, oops - bet you are kicking yourself now ;¬(

I like the lighting and the way it plays against the starkness of the furniture. I don't like the font, however. It doesn't work with the image.

This has a nice postcard feel to it. Clean, crisp, and interesting to look at. The strong lighting works overall, it does seem a little hot on the right rocking chair perhaps, but that's a minor issue in the big scheme of things here. :D I do get the impression you were timid on placing text on this nice photo? Personally, I would have maybe gone a little larger on the text (I like the font style BTW), and spread it out some, maybe even split the message into two parts; "Shaker Village" and then "Pleasant Hill, Kentucky". Something like that. All JMO of course. Overall, nicely done. Good luck in the challenge.

The chair of the left is disctracting. IMHO would have been better to have it complete or not at all. But really nice though.

The compostion with half a chair is not the best IMO.

Very nice "homey" feeling. I especially like the different shadows from the window and chair.
