I've been spending a LOT of hours over the past month watching YouTube videos and reading up on Real Estate photography techniques. I really wanted to get the flambient technique down but it's not been easy so I decided to just give HDR a go and edit out the color casting (painful) that comes from HDR. I did, however, flash the windows for the window pull but the rest of the lighting comes from 3 bracket shots 2-stops apart.

Please critique this photo and the edits -- and be as harsh as you need to be as I do want to succeed as a real estate photographer.

Second image was taken from my iphone as a reference so you can see what the actual lighting looks like.

NB: Sorry for the mess, I didn't bother cleaning up before taking this test photo.
