I'm happy that you kept this here, a very nice example of minimal art and I like this kind of pictures very much. Very nice pastell colors. I'm missing a brighter spot from the topt third (the Sun or Moon, or something else). That would improve the composition and make the picture more exciting IMHO. Cheers, MCsaba

No offence, guys... this is not my cup of tea, either. I just shot for the colors and decided to run this crop up the flagpole to see if it flies. Some on the Sony Forum took a liking to it as an abstract image or decorator piece...

I'm afraid I'm with Dunc on this one.
I could very easily see this hanging on the wall of a museum or gallery, but I'd be the one scratching my head.
There are some nice lines, and the muted colors are interesting - just doesn't strike a chord for me personally.

(I hope this comes across the right way. It wouldn't surprise me if there are a great many people who would really enjoy this shot)

You've used the rule of thirds very well. Apart from that, I'm stuggling to add any positives from my honest point of view. Just not my cup of tea I guess. Dunc
