Another from the Science Museum, this time I was looking for shapes and angles and noticed this staircase:

Great shot - I like that you can see the layer of steel behind through the holes in the front layer, and really like the texture of the diagonal beam! Nice mono

Top stuff all round

I love the conversion and textures, Tim but there's something not quite right about the composition. I think I might try a much tighter crop, perhaps an unusual thin strip down the right hand side, if you know what I mean. The left hand side seems weak.

But as I'm in a minority of one, I'd just ignore me!
Best wishes,

Andrew

Thanks for the comments folks

Andrew thanks for the input, it's a good point. The lines in the top left do seem weaker, so I can see where you're coming from. I may give it a whirl
