Beaaaaaaaaaaautifull!!!!!!!! Love the composition and the way the lighting seems perfectly suited to interact with all the other elements in the shot. The shadows seem like elements of their own, which is really neat to see. Only thing I might suggest is to remove the things in the window.. my eye keeps going there to see what it is. Other than that this is perfect. I'd probably give this a 10 in a free study.

I love the shadow because it emphasizes the depth of the room.

Vase-like object thingie

The background and the box looking thing blend together just a tad bit too much for my tastes. I would not mind as much if the rest of the image did not present a hugely wonderful "textures!" feel. It just seems that the blending on the left side does not match the awesome textures of the rest of the shot. Composition is really awesome. I like the shadow under the bottom circle. Gives it more of a 3-D feel than I think it would have otherwise.

The image overall makes me feel like the "vase-like object thingie" is alive or magical. ... so okay. I just now checked out the empty room challenge, because I wanted to see the object in a different context. And WOW did you do a FANTASTIC job at adding mystery and power to something that I might not have looked twice at if photographed differently. Great job!!!

Such a great attitude in the forum post you wrote. So happy to see someone excited to learn and participate!!!

Awesome colors here! Impressed that this is straight from the camera. One thing you MIGHT be able to do, in basic editing, for the pink spot, is to use a "selective color" adjustment (in photoshop), choose the reds or the magentas, and then change the amount of the colors it has in it, to something more blue. This only works in basic because you don't have pinkish parts in the rest of the photo. If you did, the selective color edits would of course change those as well, since you have to apply edits to the whole image in basic. Try it out and see if that gives you something less distracting.

I think that this image met the challenge well, and unfortunately the foreground was a bit too dark but it works better in the contre-jour challenge than another challenge where people do not expect darkness. I think as another commenter said the lack of subject sort of hurt. With a brighter foreground, this could stand on its own without a subject, but being darker, the eye needs something more to focus on.

edit: oh yes, reading your comments... dodging and burning are not allowed in basic editing! So it is good you did not do it. Perhaps using a flash might have brightened up the foreground some but I don't know exactly if it would have worked in this situation. When I'm outside, I try a lot of times to take the same shot with and without a flash, to see which one turns out better. Sometimes the differences are subtle but sometimes they can make a huge difference.
