Really good composition Pierre. I remember climbing those stairs. I like how you used the light source, and especially the star effect on the highlights. Good colour and sharpness. Well observed.

Hi Pierre

I like the backlighting on the stairs, & poles, & the juxtapositioning of different geometric angles. Good color conrasts between the red & blue. Bon travail!

Pierre, you have done a great job here capturing the light reflections so cleanly. The stairs add to a strong graphism element. Great composition. Thanks for sharing.

Look like that stair have history... Evil i don't know... But history for shure. Well catch!
J'aime beaucoup les trucs industriels de ce genre. Pour les rares fois ou j'en vois, je ne deviens pas fou, mais proche... en me disant.. il y a plein de trucs intéressant ici... suffit de trouver les détails à révéler :)
Bravo!

Yes; it is a great place; not for work but for artwork. Imagine the noise on these stairs when the shift for lunch starts; great picture.

Looks like a backstage of a theater but very dirty! I hope those are not asbestos. The back lights are wonderful, it shows all the dirt. A very good photo Pierre!

J'aime beaucoup la composition,le jeu de lignes et la lumière diffuse dans cette image.Je suis surpris cependant par l'impression de gros grain que l'on voit sur le bleu en haut au centre alors que le grain me semble beaucoup plus raffiné dans le bleu en bas à gauche.Y avait-il une vitre en haut ou c'est simplement l'effet de la lumière? J'essaie juste de comprendre! Intéressant et intriguant comme facture visuelle! Michel

Geometry wise - excellent composition, using metal bars on the left to fill in the emptyness. A shot that covers a considerable space and yet all details are in sharp lines, without almost no single curve.

Depth wise - remarkable use of geometry [again - bars uprfont and pipe curve in the background], lights and colors [especially the warm-red color of bricks on the left].

Again, an excellent study of light and dof management.

...is what many thought I'm sure as they climbed these stairs everyday for years and years. Interesting capture Pierre and you have shown the grittiness very well. Adds much to the mood of the photograph. The colors and light are great. I really like the light coming through the dust on the rails. Well done Pierre!

Love and Peace always!

Couleurs chaudes qui mettent un peu de cahleur dans cet univers froid et métallique. Beau cadrage et belles diagonales qui guident nos pas. Bonne photo Pierre!

I'd prefer the Led Zeppelin version, Pierre ;o).
Nice textures indeed, but am I wrong in saying that you helped the textures with some oversharpening the stairway ?
Great colours, as you say in all the series so far the light is a very important aspect. Err... that's what photography is all about, right ? Capturing the light ?

I love old rusty oversaturated photos! Such fantastic colours emerge out!

Well done. The lines and the red glow make for a nice image.

Superbe composition et je t'envie d'avoir un endroit si riche en resources photos :)

Très beau theme bien rendu et ca nous change des "stairways to heaven"... j'aime bien le coté un peu macable de cette scène et encore une fois, l'éclairage est fantastique, ajoutant une belle touche lugubre.
