Entrance hall, welcome!
Should i replace the concrete floor?
On the one hand I find that the dirty side of the concrete adds to the ambience. On the other hand, I find that it is an eye-catcher.

I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.

Here are a couple long exposure shots using my original 50 year old Minolta SR-T201 and kit lens shooting Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 II. Both images were taken just at the end of blue hour.

In a photo (architectural photos especially) the eye goes first to the brightest and/or the center of the frame. In this case they are the same thing.
Of course the concrete is just reflecting the outside and that is where the problem is. It's really the cars that are the problem. The concrete floor is just an innocent reflector.
The windows are a straight edge. It should be fairly easy to replace the outside image. If this is for a real estate shot then maybe re-shoot it without the cars?
Or over-expose the outside for window burn-out?
I don't think that would work. It appears the windows are tinted so the amount of overexposure needed will just created a huge glow around the window/door frames.
There's also the issue of the door being in the middle of the frame and your eye going to the brightest part of the frame, In this case that would be the least interesting part of the photo.
Hi Marc,
yes the vision flows through the brighter.
how about blurring the floor a bit and lower the exposure making it dull and keep the vision on the door? Now what we see at the door is another issue altogether.
if you agree, pls share the revision as you can.
