This instantly stood out to me as a winning image!
The treatment of those lovely warm hues coming through the stained glass window is great and really transports the viewer to the scene.
There's a good mixture of dark and lighter tones across the image too, making it an interesting image to look at and spot different bits each time you look.

A really nice, graphic image to round out the top 3, and it looks like an amazing building to explore!
Red is always a great colour to catch the eye, and it does just that here. The addition of the person walking down the stairs really finishes the image off nicely, too.
I would have liked the staircase to be central in the frame, which would have pushed this higher, but it's a great shot.
The tones in this image are beautiful; it's been really well treated and has a soft, almost film-like quality to it, which is why I chose it for my top 3.
Personally, I'm not a massive fan of the border as I think with it being white, it draws the viewer's eye away from the actual image, but it is personal preference.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked 1001+ in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** This interiors contest is focussing on styles and methods of the past. We could say that that encompasses a broad time period up to and including the 1960s, so we might see a shot of a mediaeval banqueting hall, alongside a Pop-art-inspired living space complete with ball chair and lava lamp.
