Challenge: Architecture In Blue (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-50D
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
Location: Verona, WI
Date: Aug 10, 2012
Aperture: 9
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/30
Date Uploaded: Aug 11, 2012

 This is a spiral staircase at work that is pure white. The design of the staircase is actually taken from Fibonacci's spiral, as indicated by a sign at the bottom. Looking up it's a pretty cool sight, especially with the various details available. it's too bad it's basic editing, as I would really like to take out the lights at the top that are a bit distracting.

--------

Wow, wow, WOW! Thank you all so much for the votes, comments, and favorites. I could tell after taking this shot it was nice, but I never expected mid 7s. Such an amazing week where I never once dipped below a 7, although it got close a few days ago.

Thank you again!

Fully agree: remove the lights, and make the shape more perfect... and less interesting!

I was right it wasn't blue!

Still the voters liked it, and it was a great pic.

for the design elements alone, this is super.

This is certainly different. Not sure how effective the image is though - it just doesn't seem to have any context.

Lovely picture, great composition and beautiful colours. Almost surrealistic. And is it the sky I'm looking at in the middle?

  Photographer found comment helpful.

somehow I feel this is not blue,and that all you've done is shift the colour palette, not often you see a blue stair case, I could be wrong though, but somehow I don't think so.
