    I'm a little torn about this one. I like the geometry and frames within frames. But as it stands, the figure and the painting he's trying to understand are a little too small. Getting closer might have improved the narrative, and it would be more obvious that the vertical elements in the painting echo the geometry of the gallery, but that would reduce the number of nested frames. Maybe there are two shots here, not one headscratch.gif. ne_nau.gif

    I like the shot, and I agree with Richard's points... perhaps a crop the includes only the middle room and the far room with the man.

    Hey Richard....

    I've thought about this image and your comments for a while

    The shot isn't such a big deal and the issue is with me; as to what I determine is the subject...

    I couldn't make up my mind then I tried cropping - then I discovered the shot has too much noise and is a tosser

    Thanks for you perceptive comments
