Well done Shawn! The repeating lines are magnifco.
I also like how the image runs out of the left hand bottom corner like the water is leaking out. Way cool.

Agree with Monty. The contrast, tonality and composition are wonderful.

Very fine photograph, Shawn. I like the graphic qualities and composition. Your choice of tonalities works perfectly here.

All the best,
Daniel
 
Shawn, I looked at this many times during the course of the day. I think it's a fantastic image, and like others have noted, the composition is great. Just feels right, strikes a good chord. Nice work!

Strong image, the kind that catches your eye from across the room. Well done...Dennis
 
Thanks fellows, I was really excited about this photograph.

Thom, it just felt right to me, too. It seems that my best photographs are made when I'm able to satisfy my feelings about an image (and a place or experience) without over analyzing the composition... more often than not where to stand and where to put the edges is felt as much as decided. It's a balance I'm becoming more comfortable with the longer I photograph. Best. Shawn
