No real point of focus.

Not supposed to be present on an image like that. Moreover, a distinctive point
of focus there would be a big mistake.

Okay I'll buy that one. But even most have a visual point of focas.
The human brain likes to go to a point. Weither it is there or not.

The upper right window mullions are sharp, where the foggy glare is. I
still like it, I like to have my eyes teased, I like them darting back &
forth, hunting for a place to settle. :-)

Reflection in upper part of image distracting.

On the contrary, the gradual "introduction" of the reflection along the diagonal
is exactly what gives the image that "foggy" mood and makes it interesting.

Sorry, but there wasn't anything gradual about it. The "foggy"
reflection is distracting and could have been better handled. Having
it less "foggy" would have brought more of the structure design to the
viewer, and allowed a better graphic image.

Even for an abstract/graphic image it doesn't hold attention of the
viewer. I reconize it but, I wonder if anyone else does?

Pyramid at the Louvre?

An image like that is supposed to be printed larger and viewed form a different
distance. Yes, it will hold attention.

I'm sorry but it doesn't. Anything printed large will hold the
attention of the viewers. More in the way of, "What was this person
thinking. Printing this so big?"
An image will hold the person attention no matter what size as long as
the image can grab and hold that person. For me, this one doesn't. I
keep looking at it and it doesn't sing to me like several of Daniel's
other works do.
It is a mess of lines and light. The eye keeps being drawn to the
lower right.

I get drawn to the upper middle left then down to the lower middle right
for relief & hunt my way back up to the mullions again :-)

The large black lines keep drawing you away from the
light area. Yet the thinner lines drag your eye every where. Such
confusion brings not a wonderment of "What is it?", just a headache
and a desire to move away to something else.

Daniel these are just my feelings and opinion on this image. You have
already proved you are a excelent photographer and will continue to
be. My words not withstanding.

Keep at it.

Andrey Tarasevich , keep challenging the status of opinions. It keeps
us on our toes and makes for better photographers. Keep being polite
and firm in your visions and you will do well.
