Hi, Greetings from the Critique Club:
Composition: I had to work this to show you what I mean. I am glad you were inspired by another photographer...but there are some areas that have let you down. There is way too much vacant space. It is good to have vacant space...but I can still see some detail in it...and that just confuses and then loses the viewer. I know the image that inspired you had books...but it was also taken at a different angle. Please see my version below. This could have been better if I had worked on the large version...but it is just to give you an idea.
Technical: As you can see I have darkened the book area some more to alleviate the distraction...and the image becomes more peaceful, more relaxing. The chair seems welcoming. I also touched the Hue/Saturation and Brightness/Contrast.
Overall: I think you were on the right track...you wanted an old feel to the image and yet to be inviting and calming. You did that but you were lost with a few of the details. Watch your details in the future and you will find the image you are looking for.

| The lighting is beautiful and completely conveys the feel of a quiet reading retreat. I don't like the pink book in the chair. but I agree there needs to be something in the chair to appeal to the viewer, e.g.a small child reading in a large chair, because the chair itself isn't very interesting. |

Whoa! This seems significantly underrated! I think the lighting and mood of the photo is really nice!

| Jeffrey, I think you did a good job on this shot. The one thing I would change would be to remove the books from the table. It just seems to make it a little too busy. JMO. The lighting and color has been done well. |

| I like the lighting - Maybe just a tad boring? Sorry I don't want that to sound harsh it's just what I see. |
