    very intersting...I like the tilt, the colors, and the crop. No complaints, very nice capture. It also reminds me of an Andy Warhol painting.

    H Herriot,
    The multicolored rooms are very eyecatching. The repeating grids but with different colours break the monotony element. I just wonder what the shot would be if there were a few persons in the balcony. Thanks for sharing.

    What a wonderful fun image. This shot is about the colors so I am glad that there is nothing to detract from that.

    Very good Herriot.
    Besides the squares of colour I like looking at all the chairs, most of which are undisturbed.
    Very well photographed.

    Very nice shot Herriot.

    I'm looking at this and thinking this can't be. It's very surreal and a great find. I too was looking at the chairs and a lot of them are in the exact same position. Very nice shot! Though I agree, I think one person standing in one of those balconies would've probably took this shot to another level.

    Well spotted. I agree one person lounging in the lower right would have made it stand out even more.

    However it works as is

    Re: Disco balcony

    Thank you all for your comments. I was particularly drawn tot he unifomrity of the sun chairs and also like the light in the lowerleft hand area of the photograph. I was hoping to get some figures in the scene but I think the hotel was pretty empty (hence the undisturbed chairs!), thanks again for the input.

    Re: Disco balcony

    I think this is about the light, not about the people.
    I would find people distracting unless very carefully placed in the image.
    Personally I'd like to see a touch more symmetry in the top right/bopttom left with more colour in the top right.
    But that's nit-picking.
