Oh what stories have been told, and if walls could talk. What a great picture. I feel like I have grabbed a blanket and already snuggled up on the sofa! Nice framing, nice context, love the lighting, adds to old atmosphere. Thanks for posting a great photo.

Comment from Daliant
Such a cosy fireside. This must be very satisfying to be part of the restoration. Nice shot of the fire. The lights at the side are a little distracting. Overall a cosy viewing

Very nice photo. It looks very warm and inviting. The artist notes are very interesting. I love the sepia tone of this one. Great capture of the flames. I would love to curl up with a good book right there. Nice job, thanks for sharing

Comment from leslavonne
this is a really neat picture its seems so warm and inviting i found myself looking around the picture as if i was actually in the house.teh only thing i would have changed is moving the chair out of the pic so that it wasnt taking away from the fireplace good job

Comment from marieann green
I don't care about any of the 1.whatevers,
It looks like a very cozy, comfy place to be. Kind of "All I want is a room somewhere." Photographically, lovely except for the two hot spots , left and right of the fireplace. Like the feeling you captured. Enjoyed

Thank you very much Marieann for your comments and high marking. They are much appreciated. I did try with the chanderliers off, but it did not look right. Too dismal.

Comment from shiloh106
You have achieved a really great color tone on this image. I like the compositon, the chair just cutting into the corner is very nice. Good storytelling. The light from the windows is overly bright and a bit distracting.

Thanks for your remarks and marking. The light is from two wall chandeliers, As the roof is only 6ft we cannot have normal centre lights.

Comment from scatpeople
This is a very interesting shot, the detail is excellent the color gives a warmth to the picture and the focus on the fireplace pulls you in. Very nice technique thanks for sharing
