Seeing Stars

I decided my first entries didn't fit the theme well enough so am trying again :-). Taken at the Ciragan Palace hotel.

Very obviously from the eye of an artist. Well done.

Thanks for all the comments -- it was actually quite a difficult shot to line up. (Lucky my husband is so patient, LOL.) About the dome in the window, tcoen, personally I love that picture but thought perhaps I was misinterpreting the theme based on other entries. But maybe I'll re-enter it with your vote of confidence :-). Helen

How interesting, Helen. I looked at this several times before realizing that this is a stairway between the railings. Really lovely, and as Denise noted, a wonderful 3D effect. Bev

I really liked the image of the temple framed by the windows and I'm sad to see it go. It fit the challenge nicely and was a great picture to boot. tcoen

Great eye finding and then framing this one. The alignment of the elements is spot-on and the exposure and lighting were perfect. The clean geometrical shapes create a strong prescence, while the greenery in the background keep it from being too cold. I agree with Denise too, very 3D. tcoen

Interesting!!! I like this image, Helen. Very 3D.
