    I agree with poker, I'm a little confused as to the skewed perspective of the photo. My best guess is that its a crop from a fisheye.

    Anyway, suffice to say I'm not a fan of the photograph, the greens all look unpleasant. Your oil crayon piece however is very good! You've turned those ugly green hues into very soft and pleasant looking ones, the rest of the image is a pallet of pleasant hues as well. The chair on the right, and the legs for the table all look strange when compared to the original image, but I think its fine and gives the painting an abstract quality.

    Nice work. The drawing distances the photo (which was just for reference anyhow). Only thing I do not like on your drawing is the left edge vertical which seems to constrict the table and other objects. I would have preferred it unconstrained.
