Exercise; How space changes with light

This image taken at The Collection Museum in Lincoln, where I intend to re-visit in to see how different it looks in different lighting conditions, on this occasion it was a sunny day, this, along with the design of the roof made for interesting shadows cast across he floor and walls which joined the line of the wall to the left creating a nice curved diagonal across the image. 

This exercise has now become problematic for me to complete as I am now immobile for several more weeks following surgery on both my feet, so have continued the exercise from my chair, not quite the same as the image I started with, but I do intend to re-visit The Collection as my earliest opportunity.

The sunlight lights up the blinds and casts a shadow behind the tree and underneath the window sill which I don't want in this image, it doesn't add anything to the image

There is clear difference in the colour of the light but as the sun wasn't shining there was less shadow both across the blinds, behind the tree and under the window sill.

This was a challenging image to take due to the high dynamic range, I experimented with quite a few options to see which gave the best result. I tried HDR backlight control which produced an evenly lit image but was out of focus, I switched between aperture and shutter priority.  I used exposure bracketing +1 stop, and exposure compensation +2 which really seemed to make the difference. I also used point metering to deal with the high dynamic range along with a raised ISO of 1000 in order to get enough light into the sensor.  ISO1000 aperture priority f/10, 1/320, 31mm.
