Steps Of Solitude

Not sure about the blowout, but the lighting is interesting otherwise. If the steps are the subject perhaps more of them should be showing. There are very interesting lines and angles, especially the railing, which might become more pronounced with a different angle and more emphasis on the steps.

Thanks David and yes I can see where you might have gotten confused. "I shot another version of this about two years ago" might have been better.

Heck this didn't do that bad. You sure as heck beat mine. Great blues in this. I like the perspective of the lines widening from top to bottom and the great rich blues in it as well. I also like the repitition of the the silver squares in the dark lines. The angle is good. How much more of there is the cylindrical area to the left? I there is more, I'm wondering how this would look with that on upper right angle totally and the flat area on the lower left angle with out the vertical area that is now on the upper left? Great stuff any which way you look at it.

I think I agree with Anders' assessment that this would have done well in the challenge. The exposure is really fine. I do not know the edifice that you shot, but I might have gone with including more of the curve in the lower left corner. The lines of the straight part are very good and strong and I think with less of them and more of the curve area you would have had some stronger shape contrasts. Really loving the great lines of blue breaking up the earthtones in this. Oh the curve area has some distorted linear reflections in it that would be more evident with more of the curve, I think. Cool!

Great reflections. I really like how the blue appears and reappears from the left to the right. Very well seen. I am somewhat ambivelant about the strong dark line at the top. It does break the pattern up a bit. It does however repeat in reflections behind it and it appears to have been unavoidable in this as is. Trouble with reflections is that they come and go depending on your angle. Also if shooting in a city, you're probably coming up against obstructions like other buildings that may impede your getting as much reflection in a shot as you can. You can only go so far back sometimes. I tried doing some distortion correction on this but after viewing it again, I like how the reflections fall into towards the middle.
