Also taken at a local mall here in town. They seems to have interesting architecture and interesing ceilings to shoot. I slightly cropped and adjusted a contrast a bit. Otherwise basically as is.
I hope the people who vote and leave comments can find the leading lines and understand their purpose.

Initial thoughts Lovely symmetry and quality of light
Composition/ Content A beautiful and simple composition. I love the way it has symmetry from left to right but not from top to bottom.
The curving roof lines are beautiful and I particularly like the way the central “beam” cuts the image in half top to bottom.
The grey lines at the left and right lead the eye directly to the window itself.
The blues and clouds of the window are the focus of the image and all the lines serve to emphasise this.
Camera Work - Technical Exposure is wonderful – I love the way you’ve got the blues and whites of the sky just right and yet also achieved that ethereal light through the ceiling itself.
Digital Processing - Technical Can’t see any problems – all looks great to me.
Any negatives? Not that you could have done a thing about this but I find the dark shadows beneath the grey coving on the left a bit distracting. Because the dark line they create is so much wider than the lines of interest my focus tends to be pulled to the left a little. In an ideal world there would be a second grey sheet covering this as there is on the right. As I said, I am mentioning this only to be complete in my own assessment – I appreciate fully that a) you couldn’t change this and b) the image is still absolutely wonderful and successful regardless.
Fits The Challenge Very much so.
My Opinion On The Photo I really like this. I enjoy looking at it. The curves, the blue sky and the ghostly quality of the light coming through the ceiling make it a very appealing image.
Excellent shot, an outstanding example of leading lines. Congrats on the win! (It's always great to see a fellow S30 user fare well... these little cameras rock!)
Great shot! My 9 of the week! The desaturation enhances the leading lines to theblue sky. One thing I would change since the side walls aren't symetrical is the cropping. I would crop it more to either side because right now is has an unnatural "unbalance". :-)
This definately makes use of the "leading lines" concept. Nice image, good exposure, a focal point the grabs the eye BECAUSE of the leading lines. Nice job!
TOP SHOT - Excellent leading lines photo and great perspective as well. You certainly have an eye for this. I like how the lines leading to the end is all the same colour and the blue at the end really stands out. Again an excellent shot which deserves a 10. Well done.
One of my favourites this week. Great composition. I tried it in b&w but it wasn´t any good. Perfect focus and colours. Overall a very interesting shot that gets high score from me. Well done and good luck.
one of my top pics--gorgeous lines, leading to a beautiful sky! i love the contrasts of greys and blue. my only wish is that you could have somehow been able to get higher to crop out the bottom left and right of the frame (walls and doors) to make the lines flow more smoothly, but no big deal. i also really like the curvy reflections running down the left side--great capture!
This is good! You've got leading lines coming in from all directions, and the compostion is perfect. The only thing I am missing is a main subject to which those lines lead. 8
Ooh, this is really nice. Great use of challenge topic, not only do the line emphasize your focal point, but the color contrasting with the neutral parts of the photo really are great. 10
