OMG, I've taken this exact same picture... it's Chatsworth House if I'm not mistaken. In my photo, you can tell that the picture at the far end is of Henry VIII. You also seem to have picked up loads of glare. Very hard picture to expose for because of all the lights and shadows. Because of your over-exposure, you've lost loads of detail on the bookshelves. The photo could definitely do with sharpening. The composition is a bit boring... one of the shots I tried of this room involved moving to the side more and changing to portrait orientation rather than landscape so I could capture more of the ceiling and floor. I would then have been tempted to crop it so that the far end of the room would be at the bottom of my frame to emphasise the luxuriousness of the ceiling.
I found the entrance hall with the staircase a much more photogenic place... if you take a photo using a column as support, the motion blur on all the tourists is delicious. 5

lovely shot and it really captures the feeling of
nostalgia :)
I would have loved to see it with all lamps turned on though.
Still, you did a great job ! 9

beautiful shot, nice colors in the butterfly. I don't care much for the shadow but I know that couldn't be helped. If you had tried to take the picture from the other side he would have flown away.
