needs restoration ...

Not sure how you could've done anything differently, but the view outside the window is distracting. I like your choice of color for the border. Wow. That's the second border I've commented on in this challenge. I guess if I'm going to notice the border (the black ones are usually a given) it should be for a good reason as it is in your case. ;^)

The exposure for this arrangement looks tricky to not underexpose the room, nor overexpose the window sunlight on the wall. Looks fine from here. Good luck in the challenge.

A Pair of Shoes

Comment:
This works in a nice simple way. Wasn't sure if I liked your choice of angles as the column on the far wall (thought it was a door at first) was drawing my attention away from the shoes, but maybe that's ok...makes me look at the rest of the image. The room seems like a ballet type setup...maybe ballet slippers instead of Chuck Taylor's?

Minimalist Gym

Comment:
Good idea and the parameters (empty room and one item) are certainly met. Normally I don't comment on borders at all, but I find this one distracting as it made me look at it (the lower left corner feels odd). Most of the time borders aren't really noticed much. I wish you had lowered the blinds on all windows. For some reason they take interest away from the piece of gym equipment.

Moth On the Floor

What happened to the empty room? Interesting image of a dusy moth, but not much on the room angle.

"L" Ghost

Comment:
Nope. Doesn't count. You've only used 1/2 an item for this image. ;^)
The wide angle lens adds additional interest to this capture. Would have liked it a bit more I think if the "ghost" was more opaque/faded. Good luck in the challenge.

No gravity

Cute, but where's the room? This is well exposed and fun to look at, however I think you're going to get zapped by the DNMC voters (no room, and two items instead of one). Good luck!

The Photographer

Now THAT is an empty room! Wow! BIG too. ;^) The photographer in your image adds the context needed to give this image proper scope. Friend of yours? ;^)

Not Superstitious

Creative and well done. The natural wood tone works well with the colorful umbrella. Minor distraction of the umbrella shadow on the far wall/floor (fill light flash?). This looks like a historical/tourist type building. I'll have to come back later to find out where. ;^)

Nice job of processing to direct the viewer to the main subject item. Nicely done.

Pre-Season Abandonment

Oops! Forgot the empty room... You've framed your subject well. The lighting is a bit harsh (early or late day sun would work better for this).
