Jumping and Geometry II

Maybe as in 'hat's off'?

I hope that's what you meant.

Good to see you active again.

P.S. 'or in my *hat's* tipped to you?'

Very nice work ...Excellent composition and nice B&W tone

Best regards hsp

I don't know how many times I've been by these steps since that shot, when it was one of the first I took.

I've never seen another real opportunity for a decent shot there.

Luck favors the well prepared, it is said, and I'm always prepared.

I'm glad it pleased you; I've always considered this a standout shot.

It doesn't have a 'message' or a 'story' like much of my other work, but I almost died when I saw it on the back of my camera and especially after I cropped just a tiny little bit then worked on the contrast.

It's one of my all-time 'worthy' photos, despite lack of 'story' or 'message' - pure geometry.

That's all it really needed.

Thanks for the recognition - you sure know how to pick 'em.

It is a classic  geometry, with an excellent  composition, motion, contrast.

Thanks for such a wonderful comment; I often have wondered why this photo on this service was not so popular as some lesser photos, but it's a triumph for me.

I tried again, with adults many times on these steps, but they're not too 'high' so any adult framed shows the 'emptiness' or other stuff at the top of the steps instead of more steps.  I'd be very hard to make the same image with anyone other than a child.

Please look at my more recent postings for a little boy, at the other end of these steps, I recently 'found' 'in my archives', worked up and it got a wonderful reception; in that case the 'descending' boy is in the foreground, which makes it easier to view in thumbnail, I think.

An idiosyncrasy of this service is the need to have a photo show well and interesting enough in thumbnail for viewers to 'click on it' as opposed to museum or gallery showing where one can stroll by and pick out the minutest part as well as the whole.

It's all in the medium, I think.

Thanks Bela, for all the support and taking the time to view my image(s).
