I have been shooting and Kimmel again. Several times in the last month. I almost entered this in several recent challenges. It finally got in this time. Hope you like it.

Beauitful and quite surprising in this low contrast, low key treatment. I might have cropped out the triangle in the lower left -- it tends to pull the eye away from the pattern.
I'm not sure how this one will fair, due to the subject, but I really like it. It's not something I would have photographed and certainly not something I'm good at photographing, but I like the angle you used and how it just seems to fade into eternity. 8
