Really a lovely image, great!

Thought provoking and unique...love stuff like this. Perhaps if you gradually darken the bottom area of the closest heart being pulled a bit more it will give a bit more realism to that part....I kiss my fingertips to this!

Your little figurines are a fantastic find for this! What a sweet story, author - great entry.

Congratulations Elke ... this is a wonderful image and just so lovely to look at over and over!

Nice work on the floor. Wall at left should be darker, as both planes would not receive the same light.

I wondered about that, since the light is striking the armoire from the right, I figured the wall behind it should be illuminated, though. If there was a corner by the armoire, it would be darker once you turn the corner, just as the LH side of the armoire is darker. The surface of the wall behind it is like the front, illuminated.

Thanks about the floor. It was fun making that part!

Agree with CMYK. It also would improve the image greatly if you tried to darken the inside areas of the cushions on the arms of the chair...it might help give some variance to the 'blue look' of the shot. Just a thought. Good job!

I agree, some variations in light around the walls would;ve been nice. It would eliminate the whole 'pasted in' feel.

The shadows the objects are casting look great and your floor pattern is crazy good!

Lovely blue room
