Really like the viewpoint - dead centre and looking up works for me!

So much to see, yet, it does not look busy..... I like it.

OOoooooh, now this is magazine material for Architectural Digest. The curves on that stark white wall are so striking. Your photos are so clean and sharp!!!!!

Ahhhh, I had to look for the bird, but I'm glad I found it. It adds much interest. I love the lines and angles of this photo. All the shades of grayscale make this such a perfect black and white photo.

Hmm. I guess I'm in the minority. I much prefer the other version. I think the reason the other version isn't getting it's fair due is because of the size restrictions at DPC. I'd love to see that one printed huge. This one is ok and certainly focuses more on the people. However, if that was your intent you should have shot it landscape rather than going with a patchwork crop.

Btw, I do love the b/w and the distortions!

Actully don't care for the blown out doorway, other than that this is a very slick image. The barrel adds a point of interest that sits well with the arhitectural details dominating the rest of the shot. Good work.

Very nice. I could look at BW architecture type of shots all day. This is well done.
