Not bad. I like the layout. Possible a flagship or command ship bridge. Something that is going to get hit hard and often along with having vips onboard. Nice.

A pretty nice design, very grandious and large (four VIP seats?). Its seems to be a mix between the Defiant (the position of the consoles, perticulary along the sides) and the Enterprise-D (the overall shape and design). I care for the XO and Tac consoles infront of the captain especially.
The question is, what starship could carry a bridge like that?

As bridges go, this one is a lot closer to current-day warships than most - there're lots of stations, and lots of seats for everyone. Even four VIP seats, though admittedly from where they're sitting they'd mostly get to look a the backs of people's heads.
It's still a nice design, though. a fully-staffed bridge would look very busy.

Holo-comm: A little too tedious for communications. One person has to get into the holo-comm ring just to show up in the holo-comm ring of the recipient. Also not all recipients would have these. DS9 has already showed this problem. The holo-comm was only used in two episodes, and forgotten after that.
Doors: They are spaced too close to each other. When a door is to open, it has no room to open because it would bump into the doors next to it. It's even worse when two neighboring doors are opening (or trying to).

Actually, you don't have to stand on the comm ring in order for it to work. Sisko was sitting in his chair for most of the communications in "For the Uniform", while both Sanders and Eddington were standing on their ships. Sanders even mad ethe comment that "you look like you're sitting on my bridge" to Sisko at one point.
However, except for the most dramatic reasons I can understand why the holocommunicator was phased out. It just didn't look right.

Yes, there is a problem with the doors. Unless, of course, they slid open up and down, as opposed to left and right. Also, if the tubolift is 8-10 feet wide, the cooridor to deck 1 and the readyroom would be about a foot and a half wide. The captain would need to be very thin. I feel the conference room should be a bit more spacious. It looks cramped. Otherwise it looks great. What program did you use? Just out of curiosity.

I toolike the consoles in front of the captain's seat. Its a different idea that I think changes the feel of the bridge. Instead of having to look side to side, the captain can look forward at the XO.
Nice work. I like the medium you used to illustrate this.
After hearing your thoughts, I'll go back and address some of the issues. While you wait here are some other things that might be of interest that I've created:

The holocomm was too diffuse, too great an invention. You could switch channel, return and suddenly find a whole new character, talking to the cast, who shouldn't be there. And they seldom showed them turning it off, like in "Bashir, I presume?" with that admiral...
Next thing you know, the callers holorepresentation could assume a solid shape, like the good doctor, and you could walk around in a simulation of the room he called from. Walk to the holodeck and be with your mate 50 lightyears from here. The ultimate contraceptive!!! And if you gagged her she couldn't say "End link!", HAHAHAHAAAH! omigod what am I saying??? -Nurse! Give me a good spanking, I thought naughty again!!
