Untitled

I get dizzy just looking at this picture. I took this at the top of

the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. It took me ages to walk up and when I

got there, noticed there was alift. I snapped this hand-held as

well. Any comments most welcome,

Great composition! Very interesting shape of yellow endings of the steps - like in a shell. Move of the people adds some life to this picture. Their colourful clothes are a bit disturbing for me. Anyway great shhoot, congrats!

Fantastic shot!

 

at the beginning it feels like its a multi-layer shot, but when you start looking into it, you see that its all a single composition. The position of people's coloured movement is perfect. Very well thought through shot. every detail plays role, starting from the edge of the carpet in the foreground bottom, to the little light at the end of the stairwell.

 

I love staircases, and I take a shot every time I have a chance. THis shot, however, is outstanding.

 

Congrats! :)

the best spiral staircase i've seen on this site. the two people in motion bring life to a usually empty scene. the composition and exposure are perfect.

I have seen many shots of spiral stairs - but none with slow shutter speed, which adds a new (OK, new for me !) twist to the theme. Nicely done !

Neat. I got a similar shot in the Louvre - but it's not nearly as high up as this one nor nearly as interesting with all motion blur. I didn't realize you could go up inside the Arc. I was in Paris only a day and the weather was frightfully bad. 100km winds. La Tour Eiffel was closed for safety. Spent most of the day in the Louvre.

Beautiful!
