Hello Elif...
I think I have a soft spot for stairs photographs! But strangely I don't think I ever photographed one myself..? You do it well here, lines are great and with textures to go with it... Your B&W works fine with very pleasing tones...
Regards,
Pablo -

Hi! Elif.
Welcome back and look what you have brought us!! A lovely present for all of us to share:) You say you did not use a tripod for this?! Amazing quality with sharpness and full DOF.
B&W is spot on. Verticals are as 4x5 corrected spot on. Lighting was so good for you here. I can see a 1930's cagney walking down these steps. A wonderfull study that would convince me it was 1930 here. Oh! for a view of Marlene D descending these steps.
Thank you for bringing back this timeless piece Elif!
10/10
Mike.

Very well done, Elif! Rendering it in black & white was a good decision - I really like the lines and the graphic quality of the image. Exposure and composition are excellent and you've created a very pleasing atmosphere with this. Good eye!

Oops - I was on my wife's log-in instead of my own. Sorry for any confusion!

Welcome back, Elif, and I hope you had a great time in Berlin & Amsterdam. I am like Pablo and have a weakness for stairs pictures but I have never succeeded in taking a good one. This is very nicely done with a good composition with the curve in the stairs from the bottom to the top. I am wondering if it would have been possible to get the railing in its enterity on the left (but might not have been to get the curve in the stair - sometimes you have to sacrifice one for the other). Nice B&W and good light. Well done!

All those lines and curves going in all directions, superb! Very nice conversion to B&W. Quite atmospheric! Nice to have you back!

Hi Elif; I have seen your comments in my gallery; great to see you back and thanks for your approvals.
I like here the double entrance of the stairs; caused by your zigzag crop.
Nice oldfashioned hotel I think; I hope you could use an elevator.
Thanks Elif and I'll wait for more Berlin pictures !

Hi Elif, this is a very good composition. I like the way the hand rails come in and out of the picture...or so it seems. Very well seen and nice capture. Good idea to turn it to B&W. Excellent,

See you on TL, Marie-José

great lines and composition...i rather enjoy grainy b&w photos...so this is very pleasing to my eye...it reminds me of a photo project i did on stairs last semester for a photo appreciation class...i soon found that once you start seeing lines you cant stop...wonderful shot...nice choice with the long DOF...peace***

Great angles, well seen! If this was my picture, I'd probably increase the contrast a bit, but that's probably just because I like very contrasty B&W images. Nice photo.

This looks great. I love the depth. There are a lot of turns. The horizontal and vertival lines in the image are very interseting.

Elifcigim,
i love it!
Your point of view is really great!
also your shot made me wonder about this hotel. it should be nice..
b&w is perfect choice for that shot.

thanks for sharing..

Hi Elif,
I like the way you guide me into the photo. Nice textures and play of lines going in different directions.

As of your note: very cute idea for alternative way of removing noise. tfs

Hi Elif, Excellent and original perspective. I happen to like staircases and this is another good one to see. TFS. Murray.
