Harold Cazneaux reviewed this image, originally titled Composition in Curves, in Contemporary Photography, March-April 1948: A picture in a straightforward modern way - yet demonstrating good composition in the arrangement of curves and a few slanting straight lines that make up a splendid pattern that is exciting and pleasing to the eye. The bold striking light and shadow is decidedly clever.

This photograph was included in the David Moore 100 Photographs series that toured the State Library of NSW (titled David Moore 100 photographs) in late 2005. The exhibition then travelled to Monash Gallery of Art, Melbourne, in 2006, changing its title to David Moore A Vision, 1927-2003; and then to Bendigo Art Gallery (2006), Shepparton Art Gallery (2006), Albury Regional Art Gallery (2007), Gold Coast City Art Gallery (2007), Wollongong City Gallery (2007), Mildura Arts Centre (2008), and finally to LaTrobe Regional Gallery (2008). A Limited Edition of the series was also produced.
