This is like one of the ideas I had, have the photo draw the eye to the center from a circular pattern. Nice color. I wonder where this rose window is at?
You centered the crop, but tye distortions show that you were not directly underneath. Avery hard shot to pull off. Could also have used a little more light.
I noticed that you chose to make this less than 640 pixels to reduce the amount of JPEG compression needed - and that you got it to 149.54KB. That in itself is an achievement! And, I think it was a good choice to preserve detail and minimize artifacts. Beautiful subject that lends itself perfectly to this challenge, very nicely captured.
