This is beautiful, the colours, the shadows... a dream to shoot in places like this! If it were me my only comment (for my taste) would have been to drop the blacks just a little more..

Very beautiful and I think this would make a wonderful decorator piece. I'd have a giant print of this in my home if I could.

I thought about @D7K s comment about the blacks. If this were my image, I would have probably dropped the blacks as well - but I think it would be a mistake! It is so easy to make a more sexy, contrasty, higher DR image. Like somehow I paid for the whole histogram and for gosh sakes I'm going to fill it!
Then I looked at the image again and I found so much allure in the fact that there are few deep blacks. It really sets a mood and tone for the image and I began to really admire the restraint shown in editing to not push the blacks any lower.
