Crop, negative, cloned a couple spots, grayscale, resized, and saved.

I had a difficult time finding a creative shot with the furniture. This is the one I liked the best although my tastes usually don't run with the majority of the DPC voters.

Hi, Greetings from the Critique Club:

Composition: I can see what you were trying to achieve, but there is just no life...no focal point in the image. If you had placed one ornament on that shelf...a bit of colour...it would have given this image some life.

Technical: Technically you are on the right track. The focus is good as is the lighting. But there are some areas that need cleaning. If you were after the old look...then make it look really old and worn. This item just looks dirty. So I would suggest cleaning up the marks and brightening it up.

Overall: I know this critique sounds harsh but I am only saying this to help you with your future entries. You need to treat DPC as a client...and this is generally what they look for. You have 4 seconds to make an impact with the viewer and hold them there. So look at your image...and see if there is anything of major factor that would hold them. If not....look at improving it in whatever way you can.

Good luck and please keep trying.

Sorry...why spell your title that way? It really takes away from your photo.
