horizontal stairs

You and your lines never cease to amaze me. I love your work.

Simple but nice. Shadows on the right are a good thing to include. Regards pK.

Lack of a focal point? - That's what the judge said who through it

out. . . .

Carl, those who can't judge... LOL. You know I love your work and it has been a real inspiration to me. Your ability to see lines and repetative shapes is a gift. I look through your images often. Just wonderful stuff and this is a great addition... Dave

Admire your work and learning from it.

great depth...great shot.

I really love the contrast between the elements which are diagonal but should be vertical and the elements that are horizontal which should be diagonal. It produces a visual confusion which I rather enjoy.

the tilted image works so well to bring the strong lines in diagonal form...

a very good abstract photograph, it reminds me of a drawing that I had to study in my Grade 11 Visual Art class called "the neverending staircase". Attached is a poor scan of a poorly photocopied/handed-out worksheet containing the drawing. :-)

 

I enjoy your composition, and especially the camera tilt - makes the common staircase scene look unrecognisable, artistic and unique. My only suggestion would be to crop off the small yellow section in the top left hand corner, you would still be able to have the bottom stairs lead to the corner of the frame.

I thoroughly enjoy Escher's disorienting view of things and it's hard to shoot stairs without being aware of his famous example.

 

I don't mind the bit of yellow too much because it's repeated in the oblique line below it, and because cropping would throw off the left/right balance around the central triangle. I could have cropped an equal amount off the right, but then the 'feet' in the lower right and left corners which provide a base would be lost.

 

Thanks for your observations.
