Interior Space, Cleveland Museum of Art

[Karm Redland]

Weather has been lousy in NE Ohio. I've been practicing taking pictures of interior spaces. This is a pic of a new section of the museum. Comments welcomed.

Karm, this is a nice lit scene. I like it.

The rich, warm tones that lead my eye to the sculpture at the end of the hall are wonderful!

It's clear that you always do everything for a reason, so I'm sure it was no accident that you included the green foreground material on the left. Even so, that strong pattern of horizontal stripes is distracting to me.

Hi Karm

Building interiors are not everyone's "cup of tea" but I find them interesting. This one is no exception. Well done. I have a different view to Mike, I quite like the inclusion of the green stripes.

I'm inclined to agree with Dave, those horizontal green stripes are a good contrast to all the red verticals

Thanks all for commenting. When I looked through the lens the image looked too plain without the green stripes. I decided to keep them and more and then during processing make critical choices. While processing the image I liked it better with them. Nothing profound. Just a matter of taste. For me, the green stripes are an unexpected flavor that pops up in a dish while eating it. I think they are a welcome break from the rest of the image's color palette and flow toward the sculpture.

Your explanation is so eloquent that even I might be convinced.
