Good work, nicely composed. My first choice.

Oodles of colour and texture. I find it hard to believe this was the best composition you could have come up with but I wasn't there. It is still wonderfully done.

A beautiful Open House!
You found a fantastic photo coulisse there! Alberto (boar) would love it I guess.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
hifi - Not sure if that is a question, HDR was not really needed. I just happened to have 3 exposures because that's the way the camera was setup, needed it for shots with windows in the frame. HDR did help on this a little for some of the highlights.

Great pic - HDR was needed on this.

Love the way this draws you through the picture. The colour stands out too

Fabulous photo! Besides nicely mirroring the challenge theme, this image works on several levels. Nicely done! I would be curious to see how adding a little more shadow / contrast to the background for "mood" would effect the image impression - but that is not a critique in any way of this excellent rendering.

Tremendous detail. The colours are really intriguing, and the composition is great.

i've got this in my top five after first go through. i like your processing for the colors. a hint of human element would put it higher from me. good luck.
