Nicely done Kelly - I like the effect that it is a fleeting glimpse in the room. I like the comp and color. Like Andy, I find the DOF a little shallow though the light across the bed is nice. The object to the left - chair? leads my eye right out of the photo.

I really like it Kelly, the colours and composition are great. In only falls down in one area, DOF. You can't beat using the right tools for the job, in this case a tripod which would have allowed you to use the optimum aperture and the sharpest image :-)
Kelly - I love the composition. I feel that if you had upped the ISO and closed down the aperture to 5.6 or so, your depth of field would have increased and been deeper, thus eliminating the soft foreground. The colors are nice and deep and even with a higher ISO, perhaps shot at aperture priority, you wouldn't have sacrificed anything, including that wonderful slice of light at the right rear of the shot. The 70-200 is a very fast lens and does indeed accommodate lower light levels very well.

I feel as though I am there peeking in. Perhaps cropping the partial doorway' light on the right would remove a distraction to the otherwise good composition.
