    Interesting shot! I have nothing to say other than it looks nice. Great job.

    How can I be lost

    Re: "The Computers Are Down"

    Tom,

    I really like this, so much to see; and being old I recognise one of those terminals, Can't remember what we called it back then but its a VT100 with a floppy on the side I think.

    My one critique is that I would have liked to see the floor where the pillars come down.

    Other than that I like the colours and the composition even though it doesn't follow the normal rules.

    I'd like to see even more in the frame, a wider angle. This seems too cramped to me, i'm not even sure what i'm looking at

    Re: "The Computers Are Down"

    Tom - It has potential but the overall composition is not very creative. I think you probably should have got in closer or taken it from a lower angle (or higher angle). I love the title, but if I were looking at it w/o the title or a caption I think I would have difficulty making it out to be computers.

    I somewhat feel the same although the random texture of the shot has its own value. Maybe some type of creative program filter can provide extra appeal?
