Took the kids along to a museum. One of the exhibits, was the inside of painter and decorator's hut from 1936 (so it says on the calendar). Only had my G12 and it was dark so had to try and use flash.

The stripes on the wall are where they would clean their brushes.

What do you think?

I kind of like this shot. The paint colors on the wall, plus the old bottles, really make it quite interesting.

Given its a photo of something that old, I think that the current version fits nicely. Meaning, I wouldn't add saturation or contrast in an effort to make it pop.

The only comment I'd have for improvement, and it's a resounding maybe, would be to sharpen it a little bit.

Nice work that depicts your subject very well!

I have added some contrast and vibrance so my PP must be subtle enough. Thanks for the comments.

Interesting but not compelling. I see effects of "on camera" flash and that makes this a snapshot.

I like the comp and the subjects. But it screams flash to me. Very un-natural looking.
