O.k Sam, this is MY opinion:

The image shows that you sucessfully achived to get a good exposure in
a backlight situation.

You explained, that your wife hates this, so there is something about this
picture.  You`ve chosen a strong, dynamic diagonal composition. 
This implys a lot of action. Will the chair role down to the edge?
Then there is the cleaning equipment in the backgound. Does the
room need a lot of action?? 
There is also this dramatic backlight. So is there something wrong
 with the room? -whats going on, what will happen next?
Why is the jacket on the rest? It looks like a room, where someone
 is just moving in. 


-You`ve asked.

Cheers, 
Frieder Faig
