Very cool! Simple and really well composed. I suspect there must be a "decisive moment" somewhere in there, but I dare not open that can of worms again ;)

There is even a color harmony present. However, it got me thinking. Harmony is beauty, and it seems to me that the beauty here is distracting from the main focus: geometry and moment. A case when something could be too beautiful (color harmony in this case) for its own good? Perhaps a b&w would solve that problem?

In any case, bravo, Seamus!

My bravo as well, Seamus.

Perhaps it works better for me than for Slobodan because I'm color blind.  ;)

Then I know what to get you next Christmas: a Rubik's Cube  :P

Your wish is my command, sir.

Monochrome, of course. All exterior surfaces black, for easy solving. ;)

Wow! Now that's a cool photo! B&W is key.

I agree, Seamus. It's a study in graphics and B&W defines it. Good catch.

That's my take on it, too.
