[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Captured this morning at the fire exit of my apartment.
I normally use the staircase every friday morning when going down to buy some groceries. Notice this bicycle nicely illuminated by the sunlight filtered by the glass windows.

Created a B&W version, see workshop.

I love the mood Idol! increasing yellow in the photo added mood to it... again the textures are superb! composition is excellent! well done again... TFS

Hello Ramon,
Subtle (and excellent!) rendering of light here. It really conveys the typical "staircase atmosphere" in which everything (the light, the voices of people speaking behind doors) seems subdued.
The bike is an interesting eye-catcher and evokes a story.
The tilt appropriately enhances the structure of the staircase and somehow expresses the up- and downward movements of the (invisible) staircase users.
There definitely is much more to this photo than just a staircase and a bike. I'd call it the poetry of daily life. Very suggestive...
TFS & kind regards,
Erik
PS - I also saw your WS and though I like B&W, I prefer this version. The warm glow really adds to the mood!

Hi Ramon,
Interesting composition of light and shadows. Personally, I would not have tiled the camera in the composition. Still very nice work.

Beautiful light, nice post-processing, excellent dynamic framing. I like the B&W version too but maybe need even more contrast (I like very contrasted B&W). Good work.

Good subject and effective post treatment to bring out the warm tones and dynamics of light and shade, obviously bringing some balance and evenness to the shot without losing the original appeal.
Frame works well - possibly except for the white band, I'm not sure.

Hi Ramon
Very good perspective capturing several difficult angles in a very harmonic way.
Excellent the light and the shadows balance, and the vivid colour in the bike.
Congrats, mb

Hi Ramon
The vivid colors of the bike seem to give ashadow with a bit of a glow.
The shot conveys neatness giving the shot great lines, while the light accentuates some of the texture.
Well done
Dot

Ramon
Beau jeu d'ombres et de lumière avec de subtiles couleurs (qui me font préférer cette version au noir et blanc du WS) et une composition intéressante.
Amicalement
JJ
