    I really like the warmth, makes the room feel "cozy". Where was this taken? The room has an 'old' feel to it with the furniture, me likes!

    Very nice shot tegan!

    I really like the effect of the complimentary colours (blue/yellow) and how the blue frames the yellow.

    VERY sharp for handheld at 1/10 and VERY sharp for f-2.8 - gotta love wide angle lenses for that!

    My only comment would be that the image is leaning a bit to the right.

    and is it possible I see a hand on the lower third of the right edge?


    Where was this taken?

    thx

    Thanks Kiddo and Marko.

    As to leaning to the right, I think the problem was shooting at less than a perfect 90 degree angle to the window. I also found that whether it is leaning or not depends on what you are looking at and nothing seems completely straight or perfectly even. Before posting I tried straightening it a few times and the result was that straightening one part seemed make another part look off. In the end, I looked at the bottom of the blue beam on the outside top and even that does not look straight from one side to the other. It seems to go down slightly in the middle.

    Yes, you do see a hand. I left it in, to see whether it would be noticed.
    Good eye.

    Taken in Hull, Québec.

    I did notice that multiple panes seemed to be uneven but for me the main scene (the central yellow part) is the most important one so that's the area i would straighten

    You deliberately put your hand in as a test of our observational skills? Interesting - one day I'm gonna stick a butt cheek in one of my shots to see if you'll notice.

    Well, the one below is according to the computer totally straight based on the tables in the foreground and the floor. Do you see a distinct difference?

    LOL, well if it is a shapely one of the feminine kind, then I am sure to notice. By the way you failed. It wasn't my hand.

    Thanks Richard and Acadie. When I realized that it was 1/10 of a second, I was pleasantly surprised that it was not fuzzy due to camera shake, but then a heavier camera is sometimes easier to hold steady than a lighter one.

    I much prefer a heavy camera for this very reason.
