Hello from the Critique Club:

A very eye-catching image! I find myself agreeing with some of the previous commenters about its abstract feel. I really like the contrast between the deep, warm colors of the ceiling? played against the harsher white columns - I do think the white toned down just a bit giving it a creamier feel might improve this contrast though.

The lighting adds very much to the abstract nature of the photo, I think the shadows along the top and bottom, give the eye many areas to explore and find meaning.

I do agree that the photo overall has a grainy texture that does interfere slightly with the enjoyment of the image, however I think, because that graininess manifests itself mostly on the white columns, it does add another point of interest and contrast between the two main focal points - the columns and the wooden ceiling(?) area. In this case I think what could have been more of a detriment, does have some saving graces.

There is definite interest in the photo, I find myself continually letting my eyes run the length of the patterned left side, and enjoying the color and shape differences. Very nicely envisioned.

I definitely like this better on its side. Great abstract.
The top and bottom are a little distracting.

Just enough information to hold my attention, yet not enough to really identify the thing being photographed makes for a good abstract. I like the grain, too.

wait. no pattern is infinite.. infinity is something wholly intangible. philosophically speaking, just because the world has been around as it is since the day you became conscious of it, doesn't mean it will exist tomorrow. you mussn't use this flawed reasoning. hah, i jest. i don't know what i'm looking at here.. it looks like it would be fun to run around in :)

Neat abstract. Love the shadows and lights.

This would be one of the top shots if it wasn't so grainy. What camera was this taken with? Is it just a low end camera or was it post-processing? I'm sorry if this was the desired effect you were going for, it's just not working for me.

there's a fair bit of digital "noise" happening in this image that takes away from its quality.
