Nice colonnade: lighted shrubbery at end is a little dissapointing after the magnificence of the columns and ceiling. Good perspective.

Marac,
I had to do a lot of scrolling too find out where this placed, and was hurt to see it this far down.

Then I read something that diffused the votes:

I really feel that is my best ever shot not only for 2006 but for my entire camera life.

That's what it's all about really.
You could probably spend the rest of your life trying to find a similar shot, but it will never top this one. Well done!

Marac, this image has it all. It succeeds at a level far beyond the usual DPC "look", conveying its message with incredible intensity. You've transcended the challenge and created "art" using the theme as a springboard. For what it's worth, I have no quarrel with the double-exposure issue; I'm well aware of how much work went into making this one work :-)

Are the walls really that dirty or is this over-burning? I like the idea.
