Great work.
The only thing for me which doesn’t look quite right is the heavy black coffee table legs. Looks like there should be more contact shadow where the legs meet the carpet. Possibly some cast shadow from the bright window? The one on the far left looks to be floating but think that’s just due to the light / dark patches on the carpet.
This is very picky though - I love everything else.
Wow, thank you so much for helping me to figure it out. I really appreciate it!
Looks great. One needs to be quite picky as @steve2802 said.
Since you said you already tried 50 times of the scene, I’d like to add a few suggestions to help.
If you have taken a photo of a person with the sun behind the subject without any reflectors, that’s what is happening in the scene.
The lighting coming through and the curtain itself look so good, but it’s way too bright compared to the rest of the scene. The scene needs more “fill light” to remove the darkness of the objects, just like you’d do with photography. For example, the ottoman (too tall to be an ottoman?) has no lighting hitting on its front/side, but only on the top from the window. Also, the black coffee table legs are just black pixels.
You have to determine where the brightest and the darkest areas are in the scene. The black metal leg under the chair must be the darkest in the scene, but the coffee table legs feel much darker, which creates an unbalanced look.
That was some technical points. As for an artistic point of view, it feels that it’s missing a floor lamp that shines warm light to the flower and side table. Also, the composition itself could be looked at again. While the coffee table is cut off quite tastefully, there isn’t enough breathing room below chair and next side table. You may want to completely zoom in so that you don’t show the whole thing like coffee table, or zoom out a little to have breathing room around the object if showing the whole thing.
This is very much appreciated!
You described it well and helped me a lot.
Thank you I will take other shots to implement your opinion.
