Greetings from the Critique Club: I have been assigned your photo to critique and here are my thoughts:

Personal Reaction: I am a mathematician by training, and a computer science engineer by vocation. I really liked your photo and it appealed to my sense of symmetry and mathematical precision. Well done.

Composition: Normally I am not an advocate for a centered composition but here it works well.

Technicals: Focus is perfect, as is lighting, DoF and so on. Technically, I can suggest no improvements. I am impressed with the clarity of the image given its very long exposure.

Conclusions: A pleasing abstract image, mesmerizing in its simplicity. It resonated well with those who commented, but not quite as well with the general population at DPC. Possibly a stretch for the general notion of perspective?

As always, this is my personal opinion. Feel free to PM me if you’d like further dialog.

Thanks to all with the many positive comments. I was very happy with this image. The image is of a latticed dome over a courtyard. The top is probably 30 plus feet above the ground. With out a wide angle lense I couldn't capture the curve of the dome. Enjoy.
