@H.O: ありがとうございます、ひろさん！
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.
Nice image. I like this tone very much!

@Makoto: ありがとうございます、まことさん！
really lovely composition... every bit, down to the reflection on the door speaks something. the pipe on the right catches my attention. very fine. its like so traditional with just slight touches of modern technology. really lovely

@Craiger: Thanks Craiger!
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.
Stu love your work. This one has beautiful tonality.

@Francis: Thanks Francis! Your post yesterday was a stunner. Welcome to Am3!
Mate this is great. Doesn't look a photograph though, looks more like a really amazing painting. Great job with the PP.

@Darren: Thanks Daz!
Stunning composition!

@Still: Merci beaucoup, Still!
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.....
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.
It does look like a paintint! Amazing...

@Manuela Photography: Thanks Manuela!
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.
:-)
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.
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 ;-)
Another fantastic photo!
