Know this fairly well. I think this is a very interesting and unexpected(?) take on this great space. Usually the focus is on murals - I like the way there is focus is partly on the lions "against" the arcades in bg. Also the colors blue violet of the lions and the yellow golds. Very nice. If you can do this again I would try moving camera loc to the left so you can get a slight bit of the right lions face...and also camera down to get just a little more of the upper part of the base of same lion. /Brandt

Brandt,
Thanks for writing this thoughtful critique. Good suggestions.

I was going to say almost the same thing, but then noticed the light between the lions. So if you did that, there would be a powerful light between the lions which may attract too much attention. So this is why we often compromise on the "perfect" composition that we really want- so many elements to contend with. But I really like the overall composition and ambiance. Nice work.
