I know the subject is boring, but would love feedback on a few photos I took recently for a client. The brief was to make sure the greenery could be seen through the windows. This meant merging exposures. I would love to know what people think.
Thanks,
Rob.

Thanks,
Rob.Strange brief to get from a client… but on that bases you have done a first class job.
The over all lighting looks very natural, so 10 out of 10 on that.I think, if you have done bracketing, you could have done stitching, too. All these three look too tightly cropped. The lighting does look natural, which I think it is. The wall on the left on the second image looks a bit dark to me, I don’t think it would change the natural feel if you brightened it up a bit.
The third image would benefit from using a wider lens, too, and maybe stitching two images.. one with the candy tray in focus, and one with the sofa in focus. Also, there is a slight tilt to the left.
These are just my ideas,

Perhaps a difficult subject to make much of, as you mentioned-
Welcome to the site-
There is a saturation and colouring to these that does look like that TLA you mentioned-
There might have been other ways to fulfill the brief too-Waiting for evening might have reduced the subject brightness range,
and allowed a single exposure-
It might also have allowed you to use lamps on the lockers
to create pools of light, and add interest to the depth-Using a bounced flash might have helped-
but care would be needed not to kill whatever ambience the scene had-
perhaps a little warm colour filtration on the flash might have implied some domestic lighting-Small jobs like this are sometimes more difficult than larger more complex scenes-
you’re closer to everything, and objects that would be insignificant further away become more noticeable-
such as the unevenly draped bedspread in the first, or the curtains that don’t quite cover…Its always a problem for photographers when they want to put more care into the representation of an interior
than the designers allow them to-j
The interior of the 2nd image needs a bump in exposure. The greenery is still probably a little too light.
The sofa crop is a little tight. It’s also angled and recentering will crop it tighter. As mentioned, a stitched version might’ve been better.
Same for the first one, where the interior looks fine, but I think the exterior is a little bright.Try using a polariser to reduce the window and picture reflections.
