i really like the sensibility of this: quiet, toned down, great colors, very warm. my only gripe w/ this is that all the diagonals point in such a way that the shapes create a rhombus inside the little "window" of the four black squares. if one of them pointed to an outward corner it would break up that rhythm and might make it more interesting. also, i'm not sure if the repetition of the text is necessary; i think it could work just as well without it.
oh, and the bottom left square is my favorite i love how the film strip piece doubles up as a roof, or vice versa. and the birds are quite pretty.

+i like this a lot... the off-center layout works really well, as does the serialized images. great eye for design there. beautifully conceptualizing the "balconyexperience", shapes arise in symbolic roles... the type and stock are skillfully integrated, and the restrained palette is just perfect for this. i couldn't choose one frame over the others, and that's an excellent thing. great job.+

I love how this is laid out. The colors are just awesome and everything's so simple and complex at the same time. Lots of little details that you just need to stare and take a closer look at for a moment.

I love this. I don't have much clue about photoshop but the fact that you could visualise this in it's present avtar is cancerous. Once again... Beautiful.

Glad you like it nikhil...interesting that you like the bottom right square...I hate lizards (perversly, they seem to love me and my balcony). I doodled them in coz they're an integral part of the balcony experience.
The top left is what the lake in front of my apt. looks like at sundown...lots of tired city birds coming in to roost.

thanks for the fav!
They're snippets of the entire day...and yup...blanking out on my balcony looking at the city with my coffee and smokes does seem calm in retrospect.
