This is not a 2 star image. it is at least a 3 depending on the client.
Thanks. I actually know how much money my shots give me, so it has to be definitely a 3 or above. The definition of a 3 is "he can start earning money".
Most people here rate anyway to troll others, or out of jealousy.
I don't know if you're working with a shift lens, but I think you could come down about 10-15% and eliminate some of the empty ceiling area above the chandelier anchor in favor of the bottom foreground elements. I can see a little outward lean on vertical lines near the left and right sides which I think should be squared up if this is a paid client.
The HDR work outside the windows and interior lighting is excellent, and the palette is simple, warm, and appropriate to the mood which will look good in print and web advertising.
