Personally, I consider the Pantheon - one of the most impressive remains of the Roman Empire. And, I like it very much. Your pictures were definitely succeeded to depict some aspects of the special atmosphere that one may feel once appreciates the architecture of the place. Here you may have two of a larger series of pictures in which the atmosphere of this architecture was attempted to be photographically reported; http://www.pbase.com/mbnm57/image/45611730 http://www.pbase.com/mbnm57/image/73866389
