Lucca's café from Cologne, Germany
I like it a lot. Beautiful tone, lots of interesting lines. Where does the light come from? Is it a museum or something?

@Lucca's café: Thanks Lucca! Good question. Not too sure. I think the light is coming from up those spiral stairs. It looked like a regular house, there was no indication it was a museum. Am a little mystified by it.
@Makoto: ありがとうございます、まことさん！

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada
Interesting photo (I mean that in a good way). Did you do something unusual with the processing? It looks oddly flat - like a painting.

@Damon Schreiber: Thanks Damon! It does look flat now that you mention it. Didnt notice that before. Nothing too unusual in the processing. Just altered the lighting and saturation a little and added a warm filter.
Francis from Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Stu love your work. This one has beautiful tonality.

Darren from Japan
Mate this is great. Doesn't look a photograph though, looks more like a really amazing painting.
Great job with the PP.

@Still: Merci beaucoup, Still!
Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia
This shot does have a real painting quality to it, the processing is top-notch; I also think it links in very well with yesterdays image (stylistically). Great shot mate!

@Chris Sullivan: Thanks Chris! Not too sure how that painting look happened to be honest.....
bronzebilly from cardiff, United Kingdom
perfect lighting--like your other commentees it does strike you as a stage setting--great result--billy

@bronzebilly: Thanks Billy! Maybe that's a stage costume hanging on the wall.
Manuela Photography from Hainburg (near Frankfurt/Main), Germany
It does look like a paintint! Amazing...

@Manuela Photography: Thanks Manuela!
Roland from Netherlands
It reminds me of a Vermeer actually (dutch master). Not only that it looks like a painting but also the whole setting! Quite intriguing..

@Roland: Thanks for visiting Roland! As you say.....intriguing.

Evelyn from New Milford, United States
I have a theory for why it looks like a painting, and flat: a lot of objects are placed on a horizontal parallel with each other; there aren't a lot of shadow suggesting depth--in fact, it's hard to find a vanishing point for a horizon; you shot it straight on--very hard to do right!--and the framing is very deliberate.
Well done! I also really like the warm filter effect.

@Evelyn: Thanks Evelyn! I will definitely have to defer to your judgement on this one. Sounds very plausible indeed.
Sidonie from Sydney, Australia
16 comments and not one ventures an answer to your question, so I will proffer this: those things hanging on the wall are a kimono, a netsuke pouch, and a strap-on objet erotique ...

@Sidonie: Thanks Sidonie! Objet erotique indeed..... Hmmmm ;-)
