Good shot, I like the stairway (and the perspective on it) a lot.

Clean, sleek, Scandinavian. I would only suggest spotting out the two little white circles on the left hand side - if you want to really reach, remove the plant - and I think it would make this nearly pefect.

Alas, I couldn't touch anything; security guards every 15 feet; they kept rotating around me as I walked thru the exhibits--took a while but after I got used to them, picture taking was easier. I wondered about the spots, look like film developing maybe? I'll send in a cleaned copy this evening. thanks

I quite like this, actually. There are probably a couple of crops that would also work, including the centre portion of the top half of the image. Maybe using an 85 would have pulled that in. But it is fine as it stands (though the plant is a bummer, IMHO).

Well durn! I was so taken in by the stairway and the great contrasts that I didn't even notice no stinkin' plant.

Well, now that you folks mention it, it would work with cropping out the plant, and that just also happens to line up the top edge of the picture with the prizm shaped bricks along the wall. But that would take out two dark rectangles (elevators/doors), which I kind of like. I don't believe the security would take too well to my request for putting the plant below its table for a photo

a classic! I agree that the dark rectangles *are interesting. I thind the plant is not a bad idea to keep the romm from being totally sterile, but I guess it's difficult to transport that in b/w.

Makes me feel quite insecure looking at this shot. Interesting effect.
