Well, my last sub here got no comments so I'm guessing it just wan't interesting enough. Here's another from the same day. With this, I'm trying to get a sense of the scale of this art installation and how viewers approach and interact with it.

Not happy about the area through the doorway on the right, there wasn't a good way to exclude it from the frame, so I tried to silhouette more people in front of it. I'm wondering if it's a huge problem or not. Otherwise, see the above for what I was going for. Or, if this one isn't interesting either, let me know.

The brightness of the doorway combined with the fact that the people are heading for it, makes it the main subject of the photo. I can see the scale of the people to the room. But the art installation is pretty much a mystery. Upon examination I can see strings but how big they are or what they are is not clear. I think many viewers without the benefit of your description would not even notice them and would quickly scan past this photo. Without being able to see the art installation I can't provide an opinion on whether the photo has captured people's interaction with it. The horizon looks like it dips to the right.

Well, I revised this a bit and took away a little of the harshness from that bright area. Not sure it makes much of a difference, but if anyone else has any input it's appreciated.
