    I think it needs something in it for a size comparison, like a person or can of pop. Just something to compare it to.

    How can I be lost
    If I've got nowhere to go?

    Ya it's tough to get the scale, but I don't think it is all to necessary...although... I don't know how high up the bottom sill is ,but throwing like a flower pot or something with just the tiniest pop of color on one of the bottom window sills could look pretty cool. To me this is a great abstract shot, I would be proud to hang it on my wall if it were mine.

    Re: Busted Windows, Again

    My question is: how long did it take you to break all the windows?

    Nice pic. I agree that something to put the picture in perspective would be nice, but a can of soda or a flower pot would probably be tiny.

    I like it Greg. It's got those all important bits of sky through that gives it a break so to speak. Some of the panes are hinged open which is good. A couple more blues would be nice.
    Looks like an impressive place and I'm sure you will get an impressive print from this.

    Greg,
    I like this one very much and don't think it needs any additional items for scale at all. The scale for me comes from the interesting details behind the panes of glass. The broken ones offer the viewer a glimpse into the plane beyond. Nicely spotted.

    I really enjoy this picture. Like everyone else thought some size comparison would have been nice. Maybe a person on the other side of the windows.

    Greg,

    Nice one - i really like the touch of blue in the broken widows which nails it for me.
