    Liban; this really good but I feel it is even better with the top windows removed.
    To include the top windows I feel it would be necessary to include them all and not part of.
    The light is especially lovely here.

    I missed the punchline at first, so imagine my envy.

    Is that lens distortion? Was it intentional?

    No questions or critiquing, otherwise. I don't mind the hotspots in the windows or the bottoms of the other windows; in either case, I'd even go so far as to say that they add something.

    What an incredible space!

    Re: My Place

    Tom, When I was posting this thread, at first the idea of this post was to ask you guys which one you prefer, this shot or a cropped version exactly how you suggested. then i decided just to go with this shot instead mostly because I really don't like unconventional sizes. but thanks. i agree, I too like the top cut off like this :



    Seth, oh wow, for a moment, u really thought i lived there. maybe if you think it a little harder it will become true! lol

    Yeah, there is some lense distortion, i tried correcting it, but obviously it is still there if you noticed. hopefully in the final one, i'll get rid of it for good. it's very tough though.

    yeah i agree amazing room. not only that but the design was so amazing, it was extremely hot outside yet nice an cool in here. just the natural ventilation along with the materials used really cooled this place down. there must have been some ottaman sultan that used to love to chill here.

    this is the palace topkapi in istanbul btw.

    Phill, hmm, thanks, i didn't shoot this portrait at all.. maybe i should have, i'm having a tough time visualizing it.
