This was taken today (1/11/2004) on my second visit to the Walt Disney Concert Hall. I had this challenge in mind when I took this picture. There is a short hallway which has both matte and polished surfaces and it makes for an interesting subject. You can see the walkway itself in the polished panels in the lower right. I literally had the camera on the ground for this shot.
Modifications are: crop, resize, mild color balance, levels, unsharp and then added the border.

I didn't vote this challenge, but I must say that it's excellent composition that makes this work. Well, that and the lines. Ok, the tones are good too :)
Thanks for everyones comments and votes on this. After I submitted this, I almost changed my mind and wanted to unsubmit. Good thing I forgot to do that otherwise I would have never known how many people liked it! :) I was quite suprised, to be honest.
To answer a few questions, this was completely outside. If you could look up from the walkway, you would see that there isn't a roof. As such, I'm not sure how I could change the lighting without setting up my own lighting. It doesn't directly face the east or west so that may prove difficult. I have other pictures of this same area that I will post to my portfolio later so you can get a better idea what this area looks like.
As for the title, yeah I know it's a long shot as an ant's POV but it was a last minute idea. The only reason I chose that last bit is because my titles (up until now) have been rather boring. I decided to throw ant in there since I actually had the camera on the ground when I took the picture. Maybe if I included some of the walkway it might have been more of a realistic title.
well you may not have been quite low enough to present an ant's point of view and if an ANT's the field of view is far to great and too well defined....that, of course is neither here nor there cause the picture is really well seen and shot and like the line contrasts from the wall to the mirror, the distorted reflections and the curves....so great picture, title could use some work....and since I usually suck at titles: 10
interesting, the light in this room is sweet, if it's natrual light, say, coming from skylights, you should wait till there's a really orange, colorfull sunrise or sunset and reshoot this.
This is an excellent architectural abstract. The lines and curves create a nice flow in this photo. This is definitely an intriguing structure. Very nice capture :)
