Very nice - I especially like how you did such a good job shooting straight up the stairwell and the radial pattern of the seams in the concrete(?) shows up very nicely in the light. A shame about the blurred figures on the stairs themselves, but you would still have a very interesting image if you crop out the biggest one and start the spiral off-center in the frame.

Hi,

The original image is actually larger, with stair railing coming down another floor, but I felt it looked a bit ugly, and as I was cropping the image, I thought most people would moan if I left it centred, so I cropped it as it is :) Thanks for your comments.

Cheers, Chris

Nice shot Chris. I like the Angle and the colors. Especially the light adds a special mood to this capture. Only thing that bothers me is the blurry black part in the upper right.

Hi Nils,

Thank you for your comments, I agree about the blur, it's a person walking down the stairs, unfortunately there was a continual stream of people walking down the stairs, and I did not have the time to wait for them all to stop coming.

Cheers, Chris
