  Very well seen, indeed, Peter. I would have liked to see some more lighter parts/highlights to balance off the result.

  @mistyisle : ok, unfortunately I don’t have any space on the top. I have tried to add more in shadows:

  Interesting perspective and really great framing. I would increase the clarity in Lightroom a little bit.

    I use Capture One. So I’m not sure about Clarity in PS – does it change contrast in mid-tones?

      @peternowak I thought Capture One has a clarity slider too. It can alter the transition between light and dark edges. I’m not sure if it would work in this case, but I’d play with it.

        Yes, I know. But sometimes the same name means other function.

  It seems a little flat to me Peter. I raised the brightest parts and applied a gradient mask from far to near. I brightened the glass ware on the table to give the eye something to rest on. Added a custom vignette to darken the sides a bit to guide the attention to the middle and add more punch.

  Great edit Rob. I always forget something obvious. Post process check list is necessary… 🙂

  Peter, this feels relaxing and I like it. I find the bright counter at the top a bit of a distraction because everything else has a mellow sameness about it.

  Like the variety of the shapes and curves. Here is a B+W radial gradient that brought contrast but maybe darkened side tables too much.

  Annoyingly Lenny got in before me! 🙂
  
  It really works but as said..the top centre distracts from the ambience.

  Thanks Tersha and Falxy. I locally masked top of the image to supress distracting effect:
