Default Montage: is the layout suitable?

tell me what you think. this is a cutup of a single shot of a Fresnel in a light house. does the choice of the panels and the order they are in suit you? is it balanced left-right, top-bottom and light-dark? here is the link to the larger version:

The only one that has color is the bottom one with blue. My eyes go directly to that one.
For me, the whole arrangement doesnt work. Unless you are going for the abstract look. sorry

Bingo. Also, I have no clue what that thing is... the collage is disjointed and lacks direction.

Default thanks

hey thanks!! maybe if i include more of the object and put the panels in the natural order. i was going for a bit of the "guess what this is" look, but i also want it to be pleasing to look at. tough being a newb.....

Maybe if you provided distinct separation between the images? As it is, the only one that stands out is the bottom right pic; the rest kind of blend together.
