The imbalance doesn't bother my eye, if only because a chair in the sun might well present that degree of dark. OTOH, Guy's suggestion looks good and would make a very compact abstract. -
Yes, that really is cool ... ...

I think the Quicktime Virtual Tour > Interior 360 degree is the only shot that includes the paintings, and the color is really poor. Shame. I don't remember too much of what Rothko wrote or was quoted on but I think 'drama' was important. I no longer have the text but, if you want to research it, there was an interesting story about an important New York restaurant commission that went sour - that event changed his perspective a little. -
Try here:

"I think he could get a job designing sheet and pillow sets for Wal-Mart."
That's funny - and if he had it might have saved him.
Can't say I 'enjoy' Rothko, and when I took a friend to see the chapel in Houston her comment afterwards was something like, "Well that was bloody depressing".
The Rothko effect had hit home :-)

Really a very nice contrast to the red shot - a technique with scope I think. -
Works very well.

Interesting about the film speed. I don't know APX but often shoot HP5 at 250. I'll try pulling it more another time. -

Nice balancing act here. And quite a change from the rest of your folder! -
Mike, this is an amazing shot. I really like it in all respects.

Brick and flint? Very colourful combination. -
I don't do much macro, so I can't comment on that aspect, but I think the strong green lines against the white, and the contrasting orange, has potential for a successful abstract if the placement of the pollen buds forms a good design. The two issues I see are the lack of focus on the one lower left, and the obstruction of the one at the back. You might have to try dozens of flowers to get that 'killer' shot :) -
Very dramatic form and color. It's makes me smile though as I can imagine some people spending hours attempting to create that mottled effect in PS. -
It's as unusual as some of your wide angle work, Colin. It looks far more foreshortened than a 135mm would create - consequence of the rain, perhaps.

I agree - he was. When were these taken?
-
My own insensitivity to color perhaps, but I was surprised that you had trouble with the color balance on this. At least, the onscreen result looks very satisfying to me.BTW, I don't read the marks at top center as a blemish, but rather as a subtle and inconspicuous 'reflection' of the curliques.

Great perspective shot - and those fingers!
-

... And it makes up a really nice composition like this. Great.

Do you generally look at the screen in a darkened room, or with room lights on full? People often adjust the basic screen brightness according to where they work but are still perfectly able to see 12 or so tones of gray. So perhaps it doesn't matter too much. And I should say that I used the word 'pasty' only after making a direct comparison between the two shots, which is a personal reaction to the richer tones of the other - my idiosyncratic preferences, I guess :)) -
It doesn't look 'better' to my eye, though it certainly looks different. Rather, it looks like an image made for a different purpose. In the other two, and particularly 'Midget 5', you have the richness of the reds and greens that is lost here.
Perhaps, with the lighting on this one, a horizontal panorama of the keys would work, but still, the rich paintwork would look 'pasty' without some burning in.
