central snake

thanks in advance for your comments.

An intriguing composition. It could be interesting also with a human element included somewhere (for example peering ovver the top balcony!), but still a nice photo.

Beautiful title for an as well beautiful photo. Impressive stairs indeed! You've succeeded to convey the movement by using a nice exposure, enhancing the more lightened part of the staircase in its center and playing with the darker parts like a natural vigneting.
Arabesques are captivating and participate to hypnotize the viewer's eyes in the dance of this snake.

It is a beautiful snake Lionel !great point of view, good exposure colors and composition, my feeling is that I want to straighten the painting of the wall;-)) Very nice image. Pnina

that's your element. the painting good be a bit clearer, but it's a very good picture!

Oh, my... WHERE are SUCH places? I can't stop wondering where you and Victoria find such a masterpiece stairs...

Lighting and composition are great!very nice photo!

 

sophia.

Very good composition and light. Congrats !

Perfect composition. Everything seems to be in the right place. I agree with John that a touch of humanity here would be very suitable. But anyway - great photo.

elegant architecture shot, what a staircase! great the s-shaped railings, good work on the exposure.

This one took off quite impressively I have to say; THANK YOU for your nice comments.

This image will be part of a presentation I will create soon, as I have spent my last saturday in this place. I thought the images I got were worth to share !

The trigger for going back there was a presentation of the art critique "Roger Marx". This exhibition is a wonderful story teller, and show how Roger Marx supported Art and Artists in the late 1800s, early 1900s.

- John, thank you for your comment. In this image, I didn't include any characters, but that's true it would give a scale to the whole ensemble. I did previously include people in this stairs already here.
- Yann, in a poetic mood lately ! Thank you my friend.
- Pnina, that's an idea, I will see what I can do without breaking the perspective too much. Cheers !
- Hanna, thanks for the compliment ! Did you mean architecture and epured images are my element ? Cheers !
- Polina, you absolutely need to visit me it seems ;) This one is in Nancy, at the museum of fine arts.
- Sophia, Thank you !
- Florin, Cheers !
- Pawel, I agree with John too, it seems that you both share a love for portraiture and humans take an important place in your images, which is less my case I guess ;) My preference naturally goes to empty spaces ;)
- Klaus, thanks a lot for your compliment, this is much appreciated !

Lionel! what an amazing shot from this place! excellently done, chapeau!
