I love it, the movement and colours are great. I think the lack of a clear focal point might be the biggest issue with it. If there was something other than a railing, someone (brave) standing there.. I dunno, I think it has to play to the "wow" factor to succeed, and it doesn't quite deliver that. It's lacking a bit of a counterpoint to the main attraction, something to grab the eye and provide another perspective. Siegel is another good 40's photographer btw, though probably not as consistently good as our uncle Alfred ;o) --mikaul^talk 00:16, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
