The warmth of this shot is great, instantly captures the eye.

You have framed it perfectly and the addition of the person walking through frame is fantastic and just the right amount of motion blur to catch the eye but not be distracting.

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.

This is a very visually appealing image and I can see it doing while on a platform like Instagram.

The leading lines and framing work really well and the addition of the colour from the person matching the staircase makes for a beautiful image.

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.

Love the graphic nature of this image and the black and white treatments really helps that X stand out.

The addition of the person is a great touch and I actually like how the image isn't perfectly symmetrical for this subject.

I love this type of image and you have captured it really well using both leading lines and the rule of thirds to place your subjects.

Your handling of the whites throughout the image while still getting a good exposure on the people is to be commended so congrats on a top 10.

You have handled the tones in this image beautifully and the detail you have managed to capture is fantastic.

I think black and white works really for this subject and really helps show off all those graduated colours across the image.

This has a great graphic feel to it and I really like the use of negative space in the image to convey a message.

It's framed really well even though it doesn't fit into any traditional "method" and I think I like it all the more for that.

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

See more contest details

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.

I see so many shots of this staircase but this is a great angle which I've not seen before.

It's framed really well and adding in the people has really helped lift the image.

I'm not a fan of the slight cross processing colour treatment and would prefer a cleaner edit but it's a really nice shot.

This is a fantastic shot which belongs in the fine art section of a museum.

You have handled all the tones and detail in the image really well and it's like a textbook explanation for the Fibonacci spiral.

Excellent shot.

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.
