Nice exposure.
03/17/2009 01:43:37 PM
Interesting composition, I like the different levels of reflections a lot.
03/17/2009 08:03:11 AM
The water looks like little stalactites, slowly growing toward the next step.
03/16/2009 08:38:32 PM
Inetersting use of lines. I like the include of the leaf on the bottom.
03/16/2009 03:18:18 PM

WOW .. this is amazing .. abstract and interesting .. great image .. :)
03/15/2009 11:48:50 PM
Nice effect and good touch with the leaf.
03/15/2009 04:37:41 PM
Very creative and interesting composition. Well executed and nicely processed. 7
03/15/2009 08:33:50 AM
Almost an abstract. Nice addition of the brown leaf.
03/15/2009 08:24:05 AM
If the leaf had been less OOF I would have scored this higher.
03/14/2009 11:55:30 PM
Great! Took me a bit to figure out I was looking at steps. Nice black / white contrast, with a single dead leaf to add color and contrast. Very nicely done.
03/14/2009 10:57:42 PM
What cool reflections, a good eye for seeing this. And that one lone leaf adds so much to the photo.
03/14/2009 02:53:35 PM
What a cool looking semi-abstract. I like these sort of shots. You can identify what they are, but the view is an out of the ordinary fragment of the object.
03/13/2009 11:59:02 PM
Lovely and imaginative.
03/13/2009 09:53:12 PM
Interesting ... I am wondering if you hadn't kept the leaf at the bottom and had really gone all the way for the abstract if I wouldn't have enjoyed it more, but I like it anyway.
03/13/2009 08:48:15 PM
Excellent graphic!! Wonderful design effect! Superb! 10
03/13/2009 08:41:55 PM
interesting shapes captured
03/13/2009 07:32:05 PM
Interesting pattern repetition. I accidentally noticed that I like it a bit more with the top two rows trimmed off (saw this while scrolling the page).
03/13/2009 06:47:43 PM
One of my favorite abstract shots I've seen thus far. The melt sure added a very cool touch to the composition.

A lovely puzzle with ambiguous relationships between the surfaces, eventually explained with a smile by the leaf in the corner. Really well seen. 7.
03/13/2009 06:07:59 PM
Great eye! Nice abstract. The leaf really adds a touch of color and interest.
03/13/2009 04:03:37 PM
Very interesting perspective, the reflections and the placement of the leaf are great.
03/13/2009 03:07:55 PM
this is a beautiful image.. The way the eyes are led down to the lead is amazing.
03/13/2009 02:35:25 PM
Beauty in the everyday, you have a great eye !!
03/13/2009 12:43:30 PM
nice abstract
03/13/2009 12:22:59 PM
i like the leaf at the bottom, could be a little sharper though
03/13/2009 11:50:53 AM
Neat shapes formed by the water.
03/13/2009 11:19:10 AM
cool and different
03/13/2009 10:45:36 AM
Interesting
03/13/2009 10:17:17 AM
Interesting abstract. Nice visual draw.
03/13/2009 10:08:54 AM
Great eye for this image, first glance it's really hard to tell what your looking at then you realize its' stairs. Only thing that could have been better is that the light is pretty flat.
03/13/2009 09:40:10 AM
I like this.. the leaf adds some interest
03/13/2009 03:35:44 AM
Ooh... I like the patterns here. Very nice and well handled in post processing.
03/13/2009 03:08:38 AM
looks like it needs more of an interesting subject
03/12/2009 08:48:39 PM
Very artistic feel. Good on you for seeing the art here and love the leaf. Good detail and tones.
03/12/2009 08:35:29 PM
Looks like a fabric the way the water stained the stairs. Nice use of minimal composition.
03/12/2009 07:52:22 PM
This has some very interesting textures and you captured some very nice depth here.
03/12/2009 02:38:03 PM
I like this shot. Definitely says something but simple.
03/12/2009 10:22:26 AM
The patterns of the frost melting are cool
03/12/2009 10:19:12 AM
Cool pattern
03/12/2009 09:30:57 AM
too much sharpening
03/12/2009 06:13:25 AM
good and creative
03/12/2009 05:16:56 AM
Way cool.
03/11/2009 09:23:49 PM
Are the stairs naturally slanted,the slant is a little distracting
Composition is nicely laid out. The subject leave does draw the eyes to it.
03/11/2009 09:01:23 PM
Oh! I love this! That leaf... those patterns... wonderful.

Not voting yet.
03/11/2009 07:49:37 PM
Whoa, this caught me totally off guard. Love the leaf, but its made better by the bands of water and concrete.
03/11/2009 06:30:38 PM
This looks cold! The leaf adds a point of interest.
03/11/2009 04:28:52 PM
I like this - it kinda messes with my head trying to figure it out.
03/11/2009 04:12:33 PM
Wow leaf really makes this an "art" piece and adds a point of unique color. Great work. 7
03/11/2009 02:34:19 PM
I dont understand the picture that well, but really like it!
03/11/2009 12:55:17 PM
This one makes you think. At first I thought the water on the face of the stairs were reflections. Good job.
03/11/2009 12:45:19 PM
great reflections, i really like this.
03/11/2009 11:12:40 AM
Very nice find. I wonder if the leaf was already there or placed? Either way it adds to the photograph.
03/11/2009 06:40:51 AM
interesting
03/11/2009 06:02:37 AM
Fantastic
03/11/2009 05:43:32 AM
Hmm...I like it!
03/11/2009 03:50:27 AM
I like the sense of rhythm you have in this.
03/11/2009 01:56:00 AM
I like the leaf and freezing patterns on the steps.
03/11/2009 01:16:33 AM
I love this one! 8.
