colour images The Great Hall Stairwell

Gavin:

 

I love the overall blue cast. The composition is great: The reflection of the ceiling on the wall provides a great contrast of texture and the stairs lead pleasingly down. You might consider doing a slight perspective adjustment in Photoshop (notice how the windo onthe right slopes up?) as does the wall by the stairs. I kind of wish the person behind the stairs was a few feet further right, but we can't control that!

 

 

Here it is slightly "straightened": If you don't like it let me know and I'll remove it.

I wondered how it would look in B&W. On balance, I probably like it better than in color.

Just as well I shot in colour & black & white that day, as shown in the black & white folder

All the Other versions are good but I still think the original is the best.

I vote for the B&W skewed version plus maybe cropping off the top window. In any event, the strong reflections certainly draw the eye.

I like the original version the most, the B&W version misses most of the nice serenity and calmness.
