I absolutely love this image! The composition is quite simple but very effective. At lower than eye level it really adds to the photograph as if it is being viewed by a child.

Lots of photographs of this type you see are taken at eye level, and this very simple change adds so much to the image!

I agree with the previous critique that the colour slightly distances the image and the viewer. Such an original, dark and inspiring image. Seeing a photograph like this really is refreshing, as new and exciting images always are.

Another, very minor point, is that for some reason the slight black edges of the fish eye lens are slightly displeasing to the overal image, and for some reason draw the eye away from the complex mix of shapes within the image itself. These are very interesting and captivating spaces and lines, and i think the encapsulating circle somehow takes away from that.

Although this does make the image look like an interesting throwback to classic photography, so i can't complain too much; this is a fantastic image.
