Initial thoughts
So much to look at – what an intriguing abstract!
Composition/ Content
I love images that are about light and dark, texture and shape so I’m really drawn into this image. But it probably suffers slightly from being viewed at this size as I can’t quite see the details I yearn to examine. I’d love to see it larger.
Compositionally, the repetitive rectangular grid is an interesting tool. The negative space between and around the rectangle brings a certain order and weight to the image. Looking at the photographic content, I like the way that there are lines within each individual rectangle as well as lines that sweep across the entire grid.
The colour palette is limited and the image is overall quite dark and yet the light is strong enough to provide strong shadows and highlights and good contrast. That really helps focus on the abstract shapes and lines.
Any negatives?
As above, I think this image needs to be viewed at a larger size to be appreciated fully.
I imagine that scaling it down is also what is responsible for the slight raggedness of the grey borders of each rectangle, though perhaps this is intentional. Certainly, for me, that raggedness detracts.
My Opinion On The Photo
A strong abstract that I could probably lose myself in for hours if only I could get closer!

| As with all of your jaysquare creations, this must be even more amazing when viewed at full size. Excellent effort. |

My guess is those are steps leading up to a building similar to the ones found in e301's shot.

| I really like this montage. The last 4 rows are a little darker. Perhaps they could be placed between the lighter ones for some variety. |

| Wow, this is pretty cool, I can just imagine it printed out BIG up on a wall, 2-3 meters high. Just gave this a 10 and added it to my faves. |
