| Henry, I've come back to this several times since the challenge ended, to see if my first impressions would last. They did. It is a very sympathetic examination of these beautiful steps. True, it might have been rotated a couple of degrees clockwise (maybe), although I can't agree that there should be less foreground. But all that's irrelevant nit-picking; it is actually a superb photograph with pretty much perfect tonal values, and a composition so good and yet so subtle that you don't notice it. Like many memorable things in life, it's even better than it seemed at first glance. |

| Something about this one I really like, but I think it would be improved with a little less forground/sidewalk, and it looks a little overprocessed. |

| Effective photo of a very worthy architectural detail (and it IS architectural; you can be sure these beautiful steps were designed by the architect and not by the gardener). I like the B&W treatment because it exploits the glow of the presumably marble steps to lead the viewer through the series of interesting posts/pillars. 8. |

Rivendel? The stone work, the twisted tree limbs, the curve of the stairs...brilliant!!
Don't know what the towering skyscraper crowd will give you but you get a 10 from me. |

A timeless photograph with varying patterns and textures.
The subject is very complex and IMO the photograph doesn't do enough to resolve the complexity. On the other hand if the main purpose of the photograph is be chaotic displaying various patterns and textures I think the bottom should be cropped tighter.
Anyway this seems like a photograph done by a skillful photographer, with a trained aye. |

| Nice, could be nicer in color, it has enough elements to get a color photo. Good work. |

| Love this photo. The composition is incredible although I would have skewed it in PS to get rid of the uneven top middle line of the circular molding as it is a bit distracting. 9 |
