That is a classic example of the "good enough" photo. It is not bad, really. It is a basic point and shoot. The windows are totally blown out and have no detail at all. The highlights on the furniture are just glaringly bright just like the reflection on the floor. The dark furniture is just a black blob with virtually no detail. The ceiling and fireplace are way off color. The rock on the fireplace close to the window on the right is probably close to the proper color, the front of the fireplace and the ceiling is very yellow-green. It is a nice photo of a very nice room and it cost almost nothing to shoot. A professional would charge a lot, but the results would be the difference from good enough to WOW.
