Very much the same way I feel Erich - I post to get suggestions because that's how I learn. If someone suggests something I think might work, I try it, see how I like it, and either incorporate it or not. Either way, I learn. If the suggestion is going in an entirely different direction from what I intended, I just thank the commenter and move on. I appreciate anyone who takes their time to give serious thought to an image I posted and share it. For the most part, that is what we get here, serious thought expressed respectfully.

I do like this image, thought its dimensions are out of the ordinary but I am prone to have non-standard size images too so it doesn't put me off. That's why I learned to make my own mattes. The use of the window as its own frame is effective, and the shapes and angles are well handled for proportion and balance. There is a very natural way to follow them up the frame. I'll have to differ with my pal Frank about getting more out of the tonalities -though I do agree it is possible, I kinda like the gentler approach on this one. I love geometrical compositions and this one is very cool, thanks for sharing it.

I went away from the traditional dimensions because they did not really fit the feeling I wanted to convey. The window is very tall and narrow. Any crop with the regular dimensions would have included wall space that I did not want on the sides, or would have cropped top and bottom which I also did not want. As for the tones, I'm probably going to stick with what I have. I also think Frank has a point; and I will try out his suggestions; but I'm probably going to stay with something close to what I have. Thank you for your input. It helps and is much appreciated.
