Thank you Edie for your detailed account of what presented itself to your eyes when viewing my photo. My original intent was to include this image in a panorama of 5 shots, hence the vertical orientation. When I decided to limit myself to a single photo, I was glad that I had captured the ceiling and floors in a single photo. My only regret? I might have framed it differently if I'd known I was only going to use one exposure.

Thank you Amy. When I read the description of this room with dark wood and antique brass fixtures I was drawn to it like a magnet. This photo is almost completely different than what I had imagined but I've learned to go with the flow and capture what is presented to my view. I'm glad it worked out.You did an wonderful job! I love the light shining through the windows. It's just a super great shot! as always!

Very nice effect, but in addition I would have experimented with fill in flash, diffused and tilted up, with higher shutter speeds to reduce the ambient light infiltration.

Thanks Manglesphoto. I know the process I would (could/should) have used if I'd taken a tripod and a cable release, and the room wasn't full of students trying to work in quiet to get their homework done. As it was, I did the best with what I had at hand.
I guess IM always thinking that way because I almost always use a tripod, Just not as steady as I once was.

Thanks for you comments George, but I think flash photography in a reading room where students were busy at their schoolwork might be considered rude and inconsiderate.Very nice effect, but in addition I would have experimented with fill in flash, diffused and tilted up, with higher shutter speeds to reduce the ambient light infiltration.
