What's the first thing you see, when you look at this image?
Turned columns and urns whose backgrounds seem to show two pair of human shadows.
Their necks seem impossibly thin and I took them to be Chinese-garbed as they had unusual hats and baggy trousers.
I was drawn to the lighting at the bottom initially. On second look I saw profiles of heads.

Initially I saw two sets of two people talking. Looking again I saw the 5 columns or shapes or whatever they are.
People first, architecture second.

I see 375x375 28kB jpeg ! Only joking Rik :) I see people first then architecture. Is there any psychology as to what you see first?

Yeah, like everyone else, I notice the "people silohuettes" of the negative space, first, and then the architecture of the structure, second.
I'm clearly part of the awkward squad; at present 20% of the universe of discourse sees columns. Mind you, I also immediate spot typos in others' prose but never my own.
If, as I did, one looks at the bottom part first, one is attracted to the columns. If then one scans up, the switch to silhouettes kicks in.

Do you still get the same result, if you look at this image?!
Definitely people first.
Again if you look low you get columns. Scrolling up or high, people.
