This is fantastic. I love the warm glow in the room and the colors. I also really like that you can see the texture or design in the ceiling and walls. Is this the actual look of them or did you add a texture? Either way, I absolutely love it. #11110858

Beautifully captured, I love the depth, the composition, and the fact that this is a stitched image. Beautiful job, Chris!! #11110934

Thank you all very much! Coe Hall is a charming estate - unlike many of the huge gilded age show-palaces, it feels very livable!
Philip - the ceiling was textured in the room (or perhaps had a faux finish.) There is a plaster ornamentation surrounding the chandelier chain as well. I didn't add anything to the image -- but I did take out 3 modern-era recessed lights in the ceiling.
Debbie -- the stitching becomes a breeze with the Canon TS-E17mm; I used the Shift feature of that lens to capture the 3 images; then they align perfectly without distortion. My resulting image was very tall -- way too much ceiling (which I cropped down a bit) and also a bit more floor than what I've cropped to here. #11111182

Nice photo and great post processing, Chris. How do you like the 6D? I just got the 5d Mark III and have not had a chance to use it very much but that will change. #11200198
