The framing with stuff in both of the lower corners works well and I find my eyes taking a little stroll through it all without trailing off somewhere outside the frame.
High contrast and deep DOF work very well for this too. I wouldn't change a thing!

When I want to know the highest effect of the modern forms in the real life, I look at an urban shot of Slobodan ...

PS Very, very nice.

And you need to go to Santa Fe for an architecture workshop? :D ...

Yes. As much as I might be reasonably ok when it comes to exterior architectural photography, done with available light, I wanted to learn more about interior photography, using lights. That's what the workshop was about. You observe a master that takes 2-3 hours per shot to stage every little detail, from camera movements to furniture moving around to positioning lights. Quite an experience.
