I like it.

(It must have taken hours to build the lattice-work and set up the lights.   ;)  )

Hi Jeremy,

Have you tried in B&W? I did and it's stunning.

Good shooting, Jeremy. Peter's right. When graphics are the centerpiece, B&W almost always wins out.

Jeremy, your title brought to mind a shot from a recent trip to Croatia. Ancient wall in Zadar. Fuji XE-1, 18-55 fuji lens. Midday. BTW great shot. Bet you were hoping Eric wouldn't figure out how you set it up....

And your shot brought this old one of mine to mind.

I hadn't, Peter, but now I have and I agree.

The man has more prominence now, almost equal in visual weight to the light pattern. I suggest the upper part just above the light pattern does nothing for the balance of the image. The upper right small triangle attracts too much attention. I would suggest cropping below that. I already did and it looks great.

Very strong, especially the B&W version.

The BW wins for me, too.
