Love this room. The wood paneling, the rug, leather chair & fireplace in the far corner, and the billiard table are perfect. Just how I would imagine an old Billiard Room would look like in England. The lighting in the room is perfect too. Sandy

I agree with BirdieLady! the lighting is perfect against the wood and just enough light for the pool table. Beautiful composition!

Love this shot. You've captured the warm feel of the room...a very masculine room I might add! :)

assess your location view it from all angles and heights through the live view screen , checking where lighting hits certain objects and how you want the final result to look , get a feel of the location and most importantly take your time , never rush , take a few shots from the same location a few minutes apart , as shadows and lighting can slightly change , observations are paramount
