I have a total lack of respect for anything connected with society, except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. Brendan Behan
The shot seems dark and depressing on my monitor. I like the compostion and think the color in the background would be nice if it was brighter overall.
I think it would be nice if he went the other direction.. take away some saturation on the flowers and purposely make it a depressing picture. The clouds already make the room creepy.
I initially liked the darker feel of the first but the second does have better impact with the seperation of foreground and background through your adjustment.
Nicely framed and a great mixture of colours and the brightened version works far more for me, nice to see the forum suggestions leading to these kinds of results!
