Wow! First thoughts were what a great abstract composition -then whilst looking at it you get drawn outside- trees become trees, sky er, well is sky then..... you are back in the room ( Damn those stage hypnotists!) The old bits of web etc on the window panes and frame certainly add to the effect, the horizontal centre three in particular make a great abstract triptych- Wonderful atmosphere/mood.
Cheers,
Gary

Yes this is wonderful, very well seen. It's almost like ready-made 'grunge photography'!

Great image Andrew, you have a special talent for seeing things most people ignore and for knowing the way to photograph them to best effect.

Really superb job, Andrew.

Thanks everyone. And to think that my lady wife mocked me whilst I was taking this...

That's nice to hear, Olga. I haven't printed a shot for about five years!
Best wishes,

Andrew

Andrew,

MY wife would say, "Well, aren't you going to wash it first?"

That's a brilliant shot.

Really well observed Andrew. That it is possible to 'see' the surface and then look through it is amazing. I am sure St. Paul would have agreed.

Best wishes,

amazing effectg - what starts as a blur abstract becomes more and more concrete and the color range is so special

Likt the OOF distant and then the grimy cobwebs. Almost an abstract with the slabs of colour and the geometric form.
