I'm totally mystified by the perspective in this picture. It looks like one could hardly crawl around this room because the ceiling is so low? I hope you offer an explanation!

Hi from the critique club...

Brin,

First of all, i'm seeing this photo for the first time and even in a challenge that had many great entries, yours is outstanding. I love the minimalist approach and the processing to bring out the outstanding blue in contrast to the dark sky.

Technically speaking...Excellent. You know your stuff as evidenced by many of your entries including this one.

While the leaning verticals don't work well in some pictures i think they do justice to yours because the give the effect of holding or cradleing the round structure.

Some commentators suggested they would like to have seen more of the building, but i think your placement of the subject well down towards the bottom is what gives this photo its uniqueness and interest. Good choice on the landscape orientation.

Nice pic and congrats on your high finish. I always enjoy your work.

PM me with any questions or comments.

Mark
