Like it. A lot. All those shadows, with their subtle differences of grey and white, are mesmerizing. I love the geometrical patterns playing themselves out both in the railings and in the aforementioned shadows. Love that window-nook being off-centre. Only thing that kind of bothers me a bit (but not enough to affect that I think it's a wonderful shot) is that on my screen at least, the figure in the window is quite dark, and his face is blank - almost as if it has no detail at all. Not just that the photo shows us no detail, but the effect for me is that his face is actually featureless. It's weird, and quite discomforting. Still, I think it's a terrific shot. Could you dodge his face a bit maybe? cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
