15 hours and no comments or additions? Okay... I'll stick my neck out. Abstract pictures don't work for me in the same way that abstract art has never turned me on. I'm more of a realist I guess. Never liked the art of impressionists so naturally for me, abstract photography rarely works. I've seen images like this one, Charlie, in fact I have one. I was in the Kremlin in 1990 and I took a picture of one of the old cathedrals dating back to the 1400's reflected in the windows of the Soviet Palace of Congresses (old reflected in new was the title I gave to it). I showed that image with a series on the Kremlin and it generated little response. Maybe it's just too overdone? I don't know. I showed your image to Lin and she didn't have a feeling for it one way or the other. Maybe too much is showing? What if you cropped it to the point where it becomes more difficult to identify? I don't know...I'm rambling now. It's well done in terms of exposure and demonstrates your eye for the unusual. But it doesn't impact me. Since it's an abstract (in a sense), what if you treated the exposure differently (i.e. high contrast)?

It's Friday and folks are out and about (I'm on my phone in Lin's office). Never posted the Kremlin shot. Let me see how east it is to access. More later.

I like the way the picture look. It is abstract in a Piscasso way or what Piscasso would do if he got a camera.
thanks for being so kind to me.
Chiue maybe you have heard that Picasso discovered his style of Cubism by looking at the results of his friend's camera that had a cracked up lens.
here's one of the pics that might have given Picasso his break-through idea.
you dont always get a reply and the truth is that at least 200 people have looked at your shot
but they only look and dont say a dicky bird..dont worry about it there is always tommorow
and you may just capture a magic moment in time..oh and by the way i have seen buildings looking like your picture before...after 10 pints of beer i have also seen ceilings that spin before your very eyes ,,so i dont like photos that they blur my vision,,,just being honest
