You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Ahh ... this is the one that I came across when I had been previously looking in your gallery of works.
I really like the creativity and concept you employed here.
The base image alone is quite stunning and could, in my eyes, have been posted without your artistic touch here.
Having said that ... I am glad that you pushed the boundaries and presented us with an intriguing collage of colour gradients.
And again, if I may ... a suggestion ... since you have repeated, to an extent, the one colouration (the bottom last three frames) ... how would you feel about losing one or two of the frames and exposing the base image more?
I like the repetitive nature of your presentation ... but, it does hide your jewel of a photo. I could see opening the frames up a bit, descending from the top. And perhaps you have already tried this ... a monochromatic large version as the backdrop for the smaller framed ones.
It is always a success in my mind when you can draw your viewer in and spark their own creativity. That is ... a sincere compliment from me.
Nice work. :o)
EDIT: +fav for me. I find this quite inspirational.
This is a photo I would have loved to see all by itself. It's really nice. I like the color change though. And the idea you had is very creative and could easily be used again, in slightly different ways to go a step further. When I see this I imagine the images starting from the top left corner and moving diagonally towards the lower right corner. But that's just my way of doing things and doesn't mean it's the best. But really, I think it's worth a try, either to post the photo you used for the montage all by itself, or to slightly modify the montage, using the same idea, but experimenting with it.
Thanks for sharing!
