Nice job. Looks like this might have been a tough lighting situation. I think it’s been well-handled. I like the window exposure. You’ve captured just enough detail in the exterior to tell us that there are mountains and a city out there, yet at the same time kept it realistically bright-looking. The composition feels just a touch out-of-balance to me. Wonder how it might look/feel if the camera were moved an inch or two towards the left and panned just the tiniest bit towards the right? (stopping short of the awkward ‘not quite a one-point-perspective’ zone) And zoomed-in a mm or two? (or if there were any room behind you, step back and zoom in even more?) And then maybe pull the coffee table towards the camera a bit. And the blue chair a little towards the left, to fill in some of the blank wall space on the left and also reduce the crowding in the area of the blue chair, entertainment center(?), and sculpture on the side table.
