Beauitful and quite surprising in this low contrast, low key treatment. I might have cropped out the triangle in the lower left -- it tends to pull the eye away from the pattern.

I'm not sure how this one will fair, due to the subject, but I really like it. It's not something I would have photographed and certainly not something I'm good at photographing, but I like the angle you used and how it just seems to fade into eternity. 8

Nice shot, would have been a good one for repetition. The highlights on this are very nice and work well.
