Oooooo! I like this shot for the repeating frames. It's very interesting!

The only thing I would alter is adding some "pop" to the photo. Right now it feels dingy. I want to see a clearer "white" and more defined "black."

Right now I like the shot. Make it a little less muddy and I think I'll love it.

You're right, I think.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I think you could push it a little more, though. There's a great tutorial here (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2292454/1)which might be helpful.

Neat composition and I love that the deeper frames are "brighter" than the foregound. It has a bullseye effect that's pretty cool. Nice job.

I actually like the newer version the way it is because of the move from cooler to warmer color and tones. IMO, the cooler color works with the stone and the warmer works with the painting, guard (half-guard, sorry:D ) and interrior.

I like it--and the title is fitting for the photo. I had to look for the guy :D

But....is this photo straight? It looks alittle off to me, but maybe the lines are throwing my eyes off some.
