There were so many wonderful entries that I could not consider because they didn't meet the brief of being in square format. My winner did not have that problem. The photographer captured this image about as perfectly as one can; every part of the design of the ceiling has been captured exactly dead on. As a result, the square format is perfectly executed as well. I am most impressed with the subject, and amazed by every detail, right down to each perfect corner. The photographer's experience as an architect has served well. Congratulations on winning first place, it is well deserved!
