77th place! When you look at most of the images that finished ahead of you, I guess you'll consider jumping down those stairs yourself. Either that or you'll die laughing and just fall down. Hope you've learned your lesson ...you KNOW you should have gone with the wiggly car tail lights and the whirling sparklers!
Well I do jump up and down these stairs 5 days a week and it's me on the photograph :-)

This is my clear favourite, and my only 10. The pure graphic quality of it is stunning. I like the fact that the subject is descending (escalator? No, probably stairs?). The composition, the exposure and the processing are all perfect. But the absolute winner for me, the real knockout blow, is the totally stationary hand! That's brilliant, and for me it makes the entire image revolve about that point, as if the hand is anchored in another dimension. Bravo!
Great simple composition as well as movement implied through the motion blur. Unfortunately with the man's silhouette being stronger at the first, it makes him seem as if he is going backwards, if you could do this with the stronger image to the front so as to confirm the movement forward, this would jump up to the top of the pack. 6
I really like the composition of this. I think the photo could have been a little stronger if the darkest, most solid part of the movement was on the left instead of higher up the stairs on the right. This almost has the feel that the person is walking backwards up the stairs.
The title doesn't really appeal to the shot in my opinion. A nice abstract with some interesting lines but not a photo I'd hang on a wall. Good luck in this challenge. <5>
I almost moved on and I think probably not spending time looking at it means people will miss its qualities. IOW, taking a moment to actually look at it made me appreciate it. I've always been attracted nice, smoothe gradients and intersting geometry; something you've captured here. Also, I like that the lines aren't square with the frame. The figure brings a nice break to the stiffness and adds a little color, as well as bringing my eye right to the clear hand. Good luck with this.
