Thanks for all the comments. As per suggestions, I toned down the speckles & tried to remove the squares on the corners, without altering the image too much.

Beautiful composition - I love the all white pattern!

Simply lovely! Well seen and very well captured! Helen

beautifully executed all white on white image, and control of dof. i'd be tempted to use the healing brush on some of those spots at a reduced opacity just to see what i think. i wouldn't take them out all together just fade them a little.

Beautiful composition & execution, Pengu1n!
If these railings need washing I'd hate for you to see mine.

Definitely a wall hanger. I can't describe why I love this shot but my eyes are in love.

great stuff. I love the minimalist look in images.....so, this is really good in my book!

Fantastic mono chrome shot! I love it.
* There is one thing that distracts my view, the "squares" in the corners of the frame. IMHO these are in contrast to the round shapes in the image itself and do not suit them well. (Please note that in general I am really a supporter of frames ;-) )

Awesome, well-balanced shot! Just the right amount of OOF in front and behind! If it weren't for the title, I'd still be wondering what this pattern is!
