[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is an old kitchen in my house in Calabria. It is at least 80 years old, but it is still perfectly working.

I like in this shot the light filtering from the open window. Main color was dark blue, and I modified it in a kind of violet-blue , not far from the original one.
This is my home, so I can't give an impartial valuation. I hope you like it.

Paolo, very nice composition. I love the violet hue and the splash of light which creates a very pleasant graphic effect. The flower lift the somber atmosphere.
Only one little thing: I would have liked a tiny bit more visibility of what I suspect is a cooking stove. Just a shade less of the dark part. But of course you may like it exactly the way it is.
Ciao
Arturo

The tiles in the stove could have come out a bit stronger. I think it's especially that, what specifies the age of the kitchen. The little artifacts on the chimney would have come out better too.The challenge , I think, would have been to lighten up the tiles and still keep the flowers in the vase well lit.
Concl: I like the atmo, the idea, the framing could have been a different colour (yellow flower or red flower), the highlight well under control.
Full two points from me.
Groet,
Joop.

Ciao Paolo!
Bella l'idea della foto, il risultato rende l'idea, la luce così radente è bella, ma secondo me l'insieme è freddo, una cucina è una stanza calorosa, piena di vita, il luogo dove la famiglia si ritrova per mangiare...Il tocco di colore e di calore che dà il vaso giallo mi sembra insufficiente, se scattavi una mezzoretta prima o dopo (a seconda del sole..) la luce avrebbe dato un tocco in più!
Questa comunque è una mia opinione, il tuo lavoro è molto buono, ti meriti 2 punti!
