On the last day of the conference I decided to bring my camera to see if I could transfer the feeling I hade experienced to a picture.

When looking at the result I was first disappointed but after working with it I thought that maybe after all ....

Interesting... the curtain is kind of opstacle which prevent us from seeing clearly the world outside but at the same time it is also kind of protection from hectic happening on the street. In my opinion your presentation is not bad at all - it is leaving the viewer to decide which side of the curtain he will join - if he wants - with a bit of effort - he can explore details on the street or simply stay at the safe side of the curtain imagining pleasant room which makes him feel comfortable...
