Interior design

I like this picture. It was taken in an exclusive hotel in Saigon (I can't remember which one). It is in the lobby and the restaurant is on the right with a glass wall and a whine rack separating the two. I took this shot hand held at 48 mm, ISO 400 at 1/4 of a second, holding my breath and trying to stay as still as possible. Fortunately I have a vibration reduction lens so it worked. The woman walking into the frame when I took it adds to the image and a bit of post-processing sharpening brought it all together. Taken in March 2008.
