Thanks! I shot this with a wide angle lens all the way zoomed out to 16mm. The aperture was at f/8. You get more depth of field with wider angles and of couse at 16mm with an aperture setting of f/8, you should pretty much be able to get great sharpness throughout your image. The shutter speed wasn't that great, only at 1/60 sec, but I have pretty steady hands so it wasn't a problem. As for sharpening in post, I sharpened the image first, then ran it through noise ninja to reduce the noise a little bit.

| Congratulations, absolutely fantastic! I can tell you I've learned a lot about cropping these kinds of photos from your picture. Amazing how the spiral goes in and out of frame! |

The spiral just draws you in. And all the folks on it just add to the charm. Great conversion to sepia as well - I would've been disappointed if it were in color and the banisters were glittering gold or something :) A ribbon winner in my book.
My only nit is that the center of the spiral is the center of the picture as well. |

Wow, an actual shape. And a nice one at that. I've taken this photo before when in Rome, but not this well.
No offense, but I've had it with this challenge. It makes no sense to me. People have submitted all kinds of crap. This is an actual shape and this should win. 10 |

| This is the most interesting spiral staircase entry.. I think the people add to the interest, and I particularly like the processing. |
