Looking down; going down. I love the lighting, specially on the post. TFS

nice one Glint like the way you got the guy on the stairs well done

Hi Bev,

I like the photo of you looking down. Glad you caught the guy walking down the stairs. I'm not sure exactly where you were standing, but it would have been interesting to add a portion of the railing to the foreground of the photo. (of course, you were probably leaning over it!).

Nice addition to the theme. Lisa

BRAVO Bev

HI Bev
Just looking at all those stairs and I think I lost weight.
Great composition for the theme and the movement of the fellow adds to make it realistic.
Well done and thanks for the comments on my looking down fellow.

What wonderful lines and angles, Bev. You have a looking down and going down. I really like how you cropped this with the bit or railing on the corner. Well done and wonderful for the theme.
Warm Regards

Nice view and lighting and composition. A pity it's blurred - I guess a bit of camera shake at 1/5second. You can get the little grippy tripods these days that 'cling' onto almost anything.
Regards
David

Hi Bev, I love the lines on this one. The motion blur of your husband gives it a sense of 'putting it in motion.' That was the only 'blur' I see as the rest is detailed and clear, maybe just 10% would have been nice but it's still a good shot. TFS Great pov and dof.

Hiya Bev

AN interesting POV here, nice angle for the shot and good how you have caught the movement. There is a little camera shake here but I dont think its a train smash as they say. I like the lighting on the ground floor level as it gives an additional focal point


TFS and for joining in the theme

Kind regards Helen

Hi Bev,

Quite an eerie feel to this shot. The movement allows the imagination to run riot. Superb terracotta colourings (presumably typical of the region?) and an excellent piece of almost M C Escher-esque style.

Regards, Paul.

The blur adds a certain domension to the image Bev. Well composed and considering the light, very good detail. An excellent sumbission for the theme,
David
