Ok, you wanted me to have a look at this (finally got around to it - it's been a busy time!)
Some very interesting geometry in this shot - the interaction of horizontal and vertical lines all over the place looks pretty cool. The combination of the noise and the right chair blending into the horizontal stripes makes it look unreal, almost like an apparition rather than a real object. Old ways indeed. So I like the subject matter and the style.
The composition doesn't particularly work for me though. The centred window looks static and oddly cut off, and the directions of some of the diagonal beams make the picture feel tilted clockwise when viewed, even though it's not. I think the picture would benefit greatly from losing that empty left bit (I tried cropping it, and it works a lot better for me).
PP suggestions - since this is in basic, the options are rather limited. What I thought worked is sharpening this at about 45px, 30% usm to bring out the contrast more. I also liked the look of desating it very slightly (monochrome channel mixer layer, 100% red channel, 15% opacity), but that's more a matter of taste, I think.
Such an ethereal feel to this. I don't know how you got the effect you did, it almost looks like you walked into a long abandoned place and slammed the door hard. In doing so, you worked up some dust throughout... but it is so effective. I just love it. And is that a horse outside the window? I'm telling myself yes, and loving it more.
I see some potential in this shot. The scene itself is a good one, however, the contrast is dull and there are some purple streaks going through it. Not sure what caused it. Perhaps it may be from adjustments needed to bring out the details from the dark areas?
I love the old wood stove in the corner there, it does take a few moments to adjust from the bright light of the window. very nostalgic. Maybe if the centered chair was on the side, it would make it a little more flowing 9
