A wildcard for me this one as I'm usually a photographer who likes everything dead straight and everything in line but there's something about this shot that I do really like and I think your colour treatment actually really works.
I would just check the symmetry of the shot as it's leaning to one side as you're not quite central but it's a great shot.

I've seen a lot of shots of this staircase in this competition but this one is definitely my favourite!
You have framed it beautifully and handled the tones really well from that great expanse of light coming in from the top.
My only little change would to have a little bit of motion blur on the people just to add a little bit of movement to the image but apart from that it's a lovely image.
This shot has an instant impact and draws the eye straight in.
It's lit really well which has me asking questions on if it's the light available to you or if it has been done with dodging and burning?
I would maybe like to se a more abstract version if it is dodging and burning of just the staircase with the room removed but I'm being really niche there as it is a great shot and congrats on your top 10.

I love this take on the brief and it's a really nice graphic image which stands out well against other images, the colours just pop and all the leading lines work perfectly for the shot.
This would definitely have been a top 10 image if you had been a few steps to your right and everything was perfectly central.
Brief

Modern interior design emerged in the early twentieth century, with more of a focus on materials such as glass, steel and concrete, often bathed in natural light. Designs are more practical and minimal, with clean lines, and are generally less ornate. But we’re not being too strict with our definition of ‘modern’ for this contest, and so any photography of interiors with a contemporary design is welcomed.
This is a really solid image, I am a sucker for straight lines and you have nailed the brief exactly here.
You were in my top 10 for a long time but got pushed out at the last minute.
You're just slightly off centre which throws the eye a little bit with the boat above not being in the middle so a step to your right would have made this even better.
This is a beautiful image and I like everything about it.
The framing is great, the little spots of highlights from the sun are fantastic and the addition of the people really make the shot.
The only reason I haven't place it higher is I'm not sure if it ticks the "interior" part of the brief without seeing the wider space.
Great shot though.
