The Bedroom

This is the most detailed and intricate image in my top ten and one which begs to be viewed on a decent high resolution monitor.

I imagine that most PhotoCrowders are viewing and rating images on smart phones or tablets where image flaws such as blurring due to camera shake or digital noise due to the use of high ISO values are not too apparent but take that same slightly flawed image onto a large high-res display device and there is absolutely nowhere to hide.

This image is pin-sharp throughout and chock full of detail, in fact the more you look the more you will see. The composition is good with all the verticals suitably vertical and a nice touch is the view through the open door which adds a layer of depth to the image. The painting of the hirsute gentleman is well positioned in the frame and in my opinion provides a necessary focal point where the eye may rest before once again embarking on a voyage of discovery through the surrounding rich levels of detail.

A fascinating image and congratulations on fourth place .......

Thanks to everyone who entered the competition and for the variety and quality of your entries. Photographing interiors such as these is never easy as so many of the rooms are poorly lit and the properties concerned not amenable to the use of tripods.

This, my first placed image, may well cause a few raised eyebrows as the room depicted is so damned ordinary. No chandeliers or four poster beds here, no decay and grime of years, and certainly no half clad ladies lounging on designer sheets.

What we have though is a beautifully composed and processed image with depth and detail to hold the eye. I love the richness of colour, the fall-off of natural light, the shadows and the glimpsed views across the room provided by the mirrors.

It's an image that I would be really pleased to have produced myself so congratulations on a well deserved First Place ..........

What I really enjoyed about this competition and what surprised me a little was the variety of the submissions and this, my third placed image, is so very different again to the first and second placed entries.

This image to me speaks of observational and compositional skills of the very highest order. Framing the bedroom from outside the room and then deliberately truncating the bed, bedside table and framed photograph is wildly unorthodox but results in an image that just stops me in my tracks and makes me think "wow, so damned clever ........"

Damned clever indeed, an artistic, unusual and absorbing image and so very worthy of it's third place position .........

This couldn't be more different in style or content to my first placed image and to be honest I would happily have awarded joint first place had that been possible.

What a fabulous bedroom, ultra-modern and clinically minimal. Your viewpoint and composition is good, exposure spot-on and I love the sweeping curves and almost organic form of the room. Woe betide anyone though who gets grubby hand prints on the walls or spills coffee on the bed sheets.

A beautiful image of a beautiful room and congratulations on second place ..........

Lol so funny .......

I suspect that this is a composite and if so it's extremely well done. If not then you have very naughty but most athletic children :)

What a brilliant image though and I hope that your kids enjoyed it as much as I do ........
