Arhus museum of Art, Denmark. I'm not totally sure if I like this one,

I find it somewhat unbalanced as a composition. I would have liked the

woman behind the curtain to be more on the left, and a bit lower...

but perhaps I get too caught in my taste for geometrical composition.

So... thank you for letting me know what you think of it!

lovely photograph... the composition works fine for me...

Complicated image...you already say what the problem is with your image,  and explain it although in some ways wrong...Why, should I add to this...It becomes a bit more meaningful when you crop out the lady holding "Manfrotto" tripod case (good tripods) with red curtain as back ground ....

I understand your feelings on this image.  I tried a few things with it and decided that IMO it works better by cropping more off the left side.....perhaps even a bit more than I've done.  This will put the man's arms at the very edge of the frame, I realize.  But what it also does is place the 2 woman so that they're each about 1/3 of the way into the frame.  This works better for me from a balance perspective.  Hope this helps.  Overall, it's a great image.

Thank you all, and, Christal, I would say your suggestion is quite good. I lately tend not to crop "freely", but to keep to some established format (4:3, 3:2, 1:1, or 16:9) as a sort of tiny exercise in self-discipline... but this looks like one case where I might make an exception. I like the statue's hand ending at the corner, and also your crop gets rid of good part of that out of focus chain that I find distracting.

Ciao & thanks
