Interesting idea, pretty neatly executed - almost pulls off that effect of seeming to be sunk into the screen - however there's a slight tilt to things - whether real or the result of some illusion, it's enough to disturb the impact of this shot for me - the more disturbing perhaps, for being so slight?
Yup -- I shot it in a bit of a hurry and didn't get quite as squared-up as I thought. I actually did a slight perspective correction (on the left, not the top), but I'm not sure if it was helping or hurting things.
with so many right angles and so many square shapes, you've got to be extra carefull to make sure they all line up. the door isn't parallel with the crop which makes the whole shot seems unstable.
