A three-dimensional surface, huh? For me, part of the great fun of photography is the manner in which a three-dimensional world presents itself when restricted to a two-dimensional medium - the way those things which are solid presences in our 'reality' become more simple shapes and patterns.
Am I alone in finding something of an escher-esque quality in this?

After leafing through the first couple of pages of results and not finding this image, I wondered what it had been DQ'd for .... but it wasn't there either. Instead, I find it buried here, in 198th place! I'd prefer it HAD been DQ'd rather than so profoundly underestimated.
Re: MC Escher ... I'm with you.
This is very good; it does somehow convey effectively the muffled feel of heavy, cold, cut stone, and it does so not by showing us a close-up of the surface texture (which wouldn't work), but rather by showing us the mood created by the light ... emotional texture. It's a photograph that rewards a minute's close study. At first the highlights seem overblown, but they're not; just enough detail is there, as it is in the deep shadows on the floor. A finely judged exposure. 9
Back for a last look; I've got to select one 10, and this is it. 10.
VERY NICE. I love your setup, it helps the eyes move around the photo. Your lighitng is wonderful, made me think of going up the steps into heaven where the light is so pure and perfect. Great job.
