I went to a Rural life museum about a year ago and decided to re-visit some shots that I had not really looked at closely the first time around.

I think the first one is just stunning. Is there a touch of HDR here or did you have very good light to get the detail in what I would have expected to be darker shaded areas?
Regardless, a very nice picture imo.

The perspective of #2 does it for me Erik H, consistent processing though out
although #2 seems to have more of a red cast. Well done.

Thank you Tony. I used just a touch of tone mapping to bring out some of the structure, but dialed it way down and finished it up in Lightroom.

Very appealing series, Erik. Love that pop of red in #1.
Thanks Linda. I had never processed them after I shot them, There were other shots that I took that day that caught my attention at the time. I'm glad I went back and took a second look.

Erik, of the three, I find 2 to be the most attractive. The colors of 1 are a bit too unrealistic and don't really convey a rustic environment indigenous to these types of shops.
2 has its issues, but they are minimal compared to 1.
The third leaves me confused as to the actual subject of the photograph. The table top is cluttered and the focus doesn't quickly indicate the main subject of the image. Addtionally, the black line outlining the base of the red thing in the upper left corner is a bit distracting.

Frank2013 pointed out the reddish tint in the second shot that I really hadn't noticed (thank you Frank), so I decided to take a bit out. Here is the re-post...

My favorite is the first, partly because of the higher angle, and mostly because of the trompe-l'il, painterly look of it. One of the things I like most is the overall sepia caste with its striking splashes of color, the red and yellow. :thumbup: :thumbup:I went to a Rural life museum about a year ago and decided to re-visit some shots that I had not really looked at closely the first time around.

The first is also my favorite Chuck. The bright red and yellow were the most prominent colors in the room and I didn't have to do anything special to bring them out, just a happy accident. Thanks for the comments.

Thank you for your comments Bob. I agree that the third doesn't really say much, but I kind of like it for some reason. I had originally desaturated them all a bit and they had a much more realistic look, but then I got into a more colorful mood and went in a different direction with them. Here's another in the set that I left pretty much alone. Let me know if you prefer the more realistic look of this one please.
