I really like the distortion on this mega-wide angle shot, you've done well exposing the photo too - dispite the blown window (this doesn't distract too much). I'm guessing this was a handheld shot?... just not as razor sharp as I expected from the thumbnail. Good one, Dunc
"Only thing that would make it better is if I'd shot it myself" well said Bob! Same goes with me. Nice job done, MCsaba!

Like this one a lot. Nice juxtaposition of old and new.
Nice symmetry throughout the framing that plays well against the random placement of people and art in the middle.
The stairs make a great symbolic and physical entry into the photo. Very classic use of lines and vanishing point that again, play well against the activity in the center.
At first, I was having a bit of an issue with all the lines (fllor, walls, ceiling) are drawing the eye to 'nothing' (or at least a relatively featureless window) to the detriment of the focal point ((the exhibit). I think I'm over that - mostly ;) - in that I like the feeling that you are being drawn into the shot above the people below, and are 'forced' to look down. This is certainly the way it would happen to an aboservber who was actually present here, so I like the way the photo makes you mimic that.
Really tough to find anything negative to say about this. Only thing that would make it better is if I'd shot it myself lol.
