I know the angle is weird because your camera was on the floor, but, I actually kind of like it. The colors are very rich and saturated, and maybe it lends to the "rococo(?) style" art that's all in that room. However, the exposure seems too long; the light bulbs are blown out and so is the details of the back window. The room seems to have a lot of inward perspective, but, it's not really an issue. I think it works because of your composition. It's good to see that you're not standing in the center like a big target. I congradulate you on that! Good job! Thanks for sharing!

Wow! This sure looks good with all the lights you look like a movie star. I think without the red leather coat you'd just blend right in to all that art. I think the angle works, without it you'd have missed that gorgeous ceiling. Excellent shot, the only thing that's missing is me!

Wonderful shot! Nice perspective and composition with warm lighting to complement the beautiful artwork. This is one of those shots where it's ok to put a person right in the middle.

Well, I guess it helped not ti have a tripod this time, because the angle from which you shot this is fantastic as it gives a great dimension to the room. Good work!!

This is a cool portrait, a unique way to include yourself but still show location and tell a story. I'm assuming flash photography was off-limits?

Great shot !
You got the composition very well and the colours of the room and the pieces of art are very impressive. The DOF is great too. Well done.

Hi Julie, I am impressed by your creativity of taking this photo. I like its title too. Yes, great room, of course. Sometimes it is hard for me to belive I've been to some places too, I understand your feeling. Can you imagine, people used to live in rooms like this!..
Advise: you should visit St. Petersburg in Russia!
