REally cool shot Mal.

Oh! I also heard what you got up to this weekend....hmmmmm

Lovely capture.

Suby

I like that you've added a person to your stairs. I think it is interesting that your subject looks a bit like a terry gilliam cutout dangling on the stairs. Waiting for the big foot to appear in the next shot of the series.

Mal, another real winner, the comp is perfect !!!

You'd be the first engineer that I know that is stupid....NOT!!!!...Mal you really crack me up!

hey mal,

love the composition! i love the angle of this shot. again, the repetative pattern really works well. the lone guy kind of balances the stairs and adds some perspective.

Very well framed, including the guy in shot makes this a great composition.

nice stuff man, like that u have somebody in the shot

that's very good senior Mal !!!

A nice grapic picture. A good one, really.

Woah, so many steps. It makes me wonder where they lead to. I'm not sure if he was, but it looks almost as if you placed the man in the shot with photoshop. I don't know what makes me think that.

Sorry about that should have sent that last response Private. Now whose the stupid one.

wonderful composition..
nice shot,
tones are nice and warm too...

hi Mal, I like the cut of this pic. particularly the man's position. nicola

hey Mal. Was great to meet you this weekend, definitely looking forward to a London meet-up (or anywhere really).

is he real? such a mad shot he looks added later. very cool capture.

Excellent shot. It is just perfect. Well done.

its a good shot...only, do i detect a hint of blur around the dude?...7.5/10

You can fool some of the people some of the time!!!! Did you think you could really get away with this outrageous con job?!! Man, you are worse than those people who have "genuine" shots of UFOs, ghosts and fairys!!!!!!! Actually, it is quite interesting to read the comments of those who failed to pick up your bit of trickery. Nice steps though!!! Regards, Neil.

Hmmmm....

I think conceptually it's wonderful image. The person balances the shot against the railings and adds a softness to the architectural features. The processing however looks a little strange to me, as Nev has already said, the person looks detached from his surroundings. Not sure if this is sharpening effect or the whether the whiteness 'halo' causes it. The same effect is apparent on the railings and they seem to be hovering a little.

I also have to say that I think I would have preferred the line of the railings to have started further over the left. The mid point of the railings is plumb central and dominates the scene leaving the guy looking out of place. If the line were further the to left then the mid point would on the third and would balance the position of the guy.

It's all my opinion and given that no-one else has said anything of the sort suggests that I am alone in thinking this and am perhaps over-analysing a lovely shot...ho hum.

Really nice picture ! Bravo Mal

Strong composition Mal

Hi Mal

powerful composition, wow

Diya

Nice. I like the way the man is almost in a world of his own. I would be if I was going down these steps. I like the way you caught him as he was on one of the level parts, so his feet aren't completely shown. Just been reading about 'thirds' ... looks like you got it almost spot on!

Can't get excited about this one I am afraid Mal, So anything I say will either be trite of picky, so I won't bother.

The red steps are beautiful... yeah the guy does look like he was pasted in there.. the shot works with or without him. I love the reflections off the railings. Very nice Mal.

Patterns, steps, diagonals, a strategically placed figure, vignetting - can't go wrong. Love it.
