Nice as an abstract, so will vote on that basis. Hope your notes make the connection to furniture.

Nice tones and light, good use of selective desaturation for the plant leaves.

Yipes! Well maybe some people savor the "brown ribbon" status, but I can hardly believe this entry ended there. Still, notice the average from commenters. Thanks for the background information. In the future, I'll be more careful and not predict "lower end result", at least to avoid any residual guilt from possibly issuing a jinx.

Different from many horse portraits, this one conveys a sense of gentle spirit despite large size. Good handling of light and detail.

Stark lighting and low key appropriate for sense of sadness/finality. Image forms a good launching point for making up ideas about the context.

Low key fits with moody expression. Wish the focus was a little sharper on the eyes rather than the cheeks.

Enjoyable use of negative space and non-standard crop to acheive a very good portrait. White of eye seems dull, raising possiblity that a slight boost in brightness at the upper end of a curve might be beneficial.
