I'm finding this shot really busy. Lots of lines that really lead to nowhere.
I'm also wondering about the perspective/angle. The strong vertical line (support to the left of the center of the photo) appears to be leaning to the right. When matched up with the edge of my screen, it is leaning. However, the right side seems to be leaning inward as well. Wide angle lens? Sometimes they create distortion and can look a bit odd, with strong verticals curving inward to the photo.
The lighting is also a bit strange. Really bright at the top, to where it is almost washing out the detail in the ceiling. However, it's really dark in the bottom right so that we really don't get any detail at all out of that area.
Focus looks really good. Things seems sharp and lines are nice and crisp. Clarity though is a bit different. There are so many lines that in some places it all just kind of mushes together. Also, the people are really too far away to get much detail out of at all, and are almost a distraction to the building, which is a distraction itslef. lol
I wonder if focussing in on a smaller section of the building would have worked better for me.
You got a nice score, and some great comments, and I feel bad saying that this doesn't really appeal to me. Like I'm the bad guy or something, but it's just not striking any interest with me.

sound, action, emotion, photojournalism! awesome image..
technically, I wish it were a bit crisper.... that is the only thing keeping me from scoring this a 10.

i find this frightening yet provocative. i know they're bells, but they remind me of those leather stud collars dogs or goth and heavy metal people wear. It is quite a brain warp! I really find it intriguing.

A great photo but a muddy color - Could another color have made it as dramatic as it should be?

interesting perspective...would seem better for duotones without any people in the image, which I am sure is not easy to do. Noce perspective. thanks
