I love the way the light works in this shot too. Overall, it makes for a really nice pattern. And what a great piece of purple in there too :) Jim H.

Fun image and something we probably all agree with - lots of threes to look at too! CJ

Hi Lee, Very creative and great use of the natural lines within your home. Dorys

Thanks for the comments.

jnconradie, the room is either very bright or very dark. I will give your suggestion further consideration. I also thought it helped reinforce my thoughts that the vacumning could wait since it was a beautiful day outside.

I also did not like the reflections in the picture, but my PS skills were not very good to be able to remove it.

Lee, this is well deserving of all the compliments already posted. Pops made me want to buy IKEA vases, and now you make us think about purple vacuum cleaners! What next!? :-) On a more serious note, the composition is astoundingly good, with so many "three's" around. I have to confess though that I am perhaps in the minority when it comes to the light/shadows, especially the reflections in the portrait's glass. I would have been hugely tempted to try a re-shoot at some other time, with softer less directional light. But, as I said, this is quite subjective, and I bow to your superior creativity and flair in this respect. Compliments. ~jnconradie

Thanks Cindy. I can report that we have no red washers and dryers.

I walked into a Circuit City today and this same vacume was sitting out on display right up front :). It made me think of this image! From bright red washers and dryers to purple vacume cleaners . . . nice to see some color in appliances these days! Why not have some fun?

The image is so simple yet so interesting - I like it. :) Cindy

Thanks. It was really found scene. I made a few tweaks. Chris, there are a lot of threes in in the shot. I count 6.

Nice, this image is almost like a test also, how many threes can you find, which leads me to believe that was intentional. Either way, very smart and nicely done.

I can agree with that, Lee. Nice composition as well.
