I like the way the shadow is, great time of day to capture this location.

Lovely idea with those shadows from the stairs cast on the red brick wall but the stairs themselves are so dark that one cannot see any detail. The composition is lovely though and I like the flowerpot with the green shoots growing along the bottom of the stairs and the stone framed window at the top.

Nice shot. It was a good scene when I entered it.

(Come on, you knew it was likely to come up for me. No vote, naturally.)

Nice shadow. Wish we could see the actual stairs a little better too, though.

maybe it is the post processing , but the focus does not seem crisp

This photo could be a little sharper overall.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 05:54:34 PM
I like how the shadows actually look like the railings
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 05:33:06 PM
Wonderful shadow play. The colors really burst out of the plane of this image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 11:59:27 AM
Was this a handheld shot? I ask because it's not quite as sharp as it could be, most evident around the window on the wall. Aperture may not have been deep enough either with the upward tilt of the focal plane. Just an observation. It is and interesting still life type photo and your timing on the natural light is right on the mark! Good luck in the challenge.

03/13/2009 08:19:20 AM
A very appealing picture but I feel there is too much blocking in the shadows
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 12:17:23 AM
Beautiful shadows along the wall, love the composition. So nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 12:14:54 AM
The light is really nice in this shot. Gives it a painterly quality.

Great capture, I really like the projection of the shades on the wall.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:19:16 PM
Very nice. I like the shadow of the stairs and the pot and window make this very interesting. Good detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:41:40 AM
nice shot but the darkness where the railing and stairs are versus the reflection just hit me the wrong way. I can't think of a solution and would probably have chosen a different photo but this is an interested subject nonetheless. Certainly better then my shots.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 10:00:09 AM
love the shadows, it really makes this image work along with the red bricks, nicely seen
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Voted earlier coming back to leave comments now. You know what I really find appealing about this photo. The way you composed it, the shapes, and the colors. Love that the stairwell cuts at the diagonal. The leading lines travel from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. And the shapes! The details of the design on the railing is shadowed and repeated on the brick wall. While the leading lines of the stairway dominate the composition as the main subject you also have an added visual interest of that top arched window that adds another visual element to the top right half of the diagonal. The balance to that window element in the bottom left half is the flower pot. I mentioned the colors are appealing too for the Black tones of the stairs really contrast nicely off of the red brick wall.

love the colors here
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:15:04 AM
I like how the pattern of the staircase is repeated on the wall in shadow.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 10:15:14 PM
the shadows confuse me a bit on this one, how can there be such a strong shadow on the wall but no light on the steps themselves. It looks like you burnt the steps but Im not sure why
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:03:34 PM
I wish this had been taken from directly straight on... those shadows are wonderful with that curve, but the angle is too distracting to me.

Not voting yet.

I like the different angles and shapes in this shot.

03/11/2009 04:58:37 PM
Needs a little more "punch" to separate the foreground more
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 04:25:58 PM
Very surreal shot. What's with the bricks under the stairs?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:29:24 PM
I like how the pot balances the window and that lovely railing casts such a beautiful shadow. I like the dual horizontal lines. Nice.

Ilve the light and the shadows, but what is that in the window?

Has a very `Sicilian` feel to it. Seems a bit blurred overall but the saturation works in its favour.
