Vertigo

vladoComment by Ecce_Signum: Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club. Let me start by congratulating you on your first ribbon Vlado
First Impression: Fits the challenge well, a nicely framed colourful shot but, its another spiral staircase.
Composition: This is excellent, the frame is full with no wasted space and my eyes are taken on a rollercoaster ride around the image.
Tecnical: Its a basic challenge and think you did an excellent job with the lighting, exposure and focus. some voters might have wanted more detail at the bottom of the stairs but I like the mystery of whats down there.
Artistic: If you had left out the foliage I think you would have suffered in the voting and having it in the shot has added another dimension to the image. For me, the foliage is the difference between a good image and the work of an artist (and of course a runner up and a ribbon winner).
Overall thoughts: If I were able to get you to change one element it would be to have used a flash to bring out the foliage a bit more, I think it would have helped the image but unless I saw a comparison I can only wonder. Its a shot well worth your first ribbon, and hope its the start of good things for you here at dpc.
