Yes, I think I prefer that one. Is it just the compression for the page, or is it a bit out of focus in some parts? I do like the starkness of the first image, so the second one, in full focus and with the contrast bumped up, could be a lovely abstract image.... Thanks. Yes, I think I prefer that one.

It's the stark red and black, the blurring, and the lack of any sense of coherent organisation (the general chaos of the composition [which I am sure is deliberate of course]) that suggest to my mind at least visions of some hell (no, I do mean I see it in a religious sense, purely an artistic one). Would it be possible to put a link to the non-blurred version so we can compare?

Not sure if I like this one so much. Looks hellish: a distorted confused chaos of red and black. The radial blurring is perhaps a bit much: without it it might be better. A stark, almost monochrome array of red and black. Still, at least you avoided the clichéd foreshortened telephoto view down the corridor.... Ummmm. Not sure if I like this one so much.
