Here is the first of my series "up-stairs"
This one is my favourite. I selected it as my home page picture on my website (www.canet.be)
It was shot at the bottom, in the Alvear Hotel in Buenos Aires (a very beautiful old english hotel)
I really like the colors and luminosity. I was lucky, because I got it like that, no PP needed
ISO 400- S 1/50 F/2.8

Great art ! This is a very nice abstract view on the stairs and even the light is very nice here, Bernard ! A loooong view in this way, nice done !

Simply stunning! Composition et lumière parfaites!

Hi Bernard,
This picture realy sucks you inn. Very good POV.

Paul

C'est le chemin du septième ciel, oops, ça monte! Très bien fait, bien vu et bien rendu! Félicitations! Claude

Terrific photo and yet I find it irritating as I feel as if it is upside down because we see the underside of the staircase. However I have returned to it for the third time today so it clearly has huge impact.

The best shots are those that provoke such a reaction.

Thanks
Paul

Bernard, this is an exceptionally nice composition. I like how you didn't do what is done most: keep the end of the stairs in the middle. By changing PoV here it came to the edge of the spiral, and that is as original as it is beautiful. The light is great too, a darker and a lighter part. One thing to nit-pick about: I'd have cloned out the few light spots in the upper part. TFS.

I want to set a marble on it and push it over the edge and watch it roll down. Nice Bernard.

This one is almost like fractals again, and fractals have such an overwhelming effect on me :)

So I like it, I like it a lot! Colouring is perfect, good idea you didn't PP it, it's good already.

Everything has been said already. Great artwork

L'oeil du caméléon observe l'homme qui le prend en photo, changera-il de couleur pour se fondre dans l'escalier ... bravo Bernard pour le cou d'oeil!

You really captured the beauty of the Alvear Hotel, Bernard!! It's an amazing place and you did great..
Your perspective is amazing, almost hypnotic, with that warm and deep light.
The only thing that is a bit disturbing, IMO, is that small bright reflex in the middle of the shot.
Congrats!!
Marisa

Very nice illusion Bernard, the lighting helps, thanks for sharing.

It's majestic! And this is the natural colors! Ho wow! AN appartment at the top is probably expensive? :o) I like classics designs like that! The brick ares simply beautifull!
Remarquable!

bonsoir Bernard. Très belle composition, c'est vertigineux, ce colimaçon est bien vu et bien fait. Comme je vois que tu as une série je vais attendre pour choisir celle qui me plaira le mieux.
J'oubliais de te dire que l'éclairage est fantastique.

demain pour les points

Very nice picture! Perfect... the colors are very impressive! Congratulations

Tones and the shape are great...
Excellent work.

I prefer this one Bernard....
The light is excellent!
Alexandre

Très belle photo également, Bernard !!!
Et pour répondre à ta question, oui, je préfère l'autre ...
En tout cas, un beau travail ! Et les deux se complètent très bien, évidemment ...
Sylvie

On perd la tête... Moi qui trouvais que cela "descendait"... Peu importe, je trouve cela vertigineux ! Tout simplement.
Stéphane

Very great shot Bernard. I like the special architecture you created with this picture. Very goog framing. Congratulation.

I gladly add the two points to push this photo over into the 50's - your point of view is awesome! the colors combine with the design to make this a masterpiece, well done!

J'ajoute mon petit grain de sel, car Bernard, je crois que tout a été dit... cette photo est une petite merveille rien de moins...
Gisèle

this is awesome, the perspective is simply breath-taking. I love it.

Awesome!
This is a piece of art,i have no more to say!
Excellent!

you know why I like this one? because so many people do this with PP work... but you could do this just with a shot!!!

it's amazing your work... I really don't know what to say... just Thanks!

Very much enjoy the repeating shapes in this and how there is a warm tone to the overall image. I"m impressed that there was no post processing...

Nicely done.

Huhu Bernard!!

Excellent shot! Composition is great, it makes me very dizzy, which is great! But the light is perfect, you'll never manage to put that much light bulbs in some studio :))))
Great job done, TFS.
Regards

Hi Bernard.. This is perfect!! Really takes me in with dizzy!!! Perfect angle with smooth light.

Great picture, fantastic light!!

Abolutely perfect...
Tomasz

Hi Bernard, this is superb and yes you were lucky to get it the first time with no PP needed. I love the swirl of the staircase also the fact that it's not perfectly round adds to the composition.

I love also the dark colour, it brings such a nice mood... makes me think of when I was young and I was exploring the forbidden corridors in the nun's college where I studied :)

Take care, Yan

Ouh, je l'avais loupée celle-ci ! Ce gastéropode architectural est de toute beauté ! Compo, lumière, tons chauds, perspective... magnifiques.
Bravo Bernard :)

Photo très bien réussie techniquement et graphiquement fort intéressante...bravo Bernard et bonne continuation!

Benja

WOW. Nice photo, I like it.

Martin

Hi Bernard!

This is a great shot! Finally, I see spiral stairs properly cropped! Although, it could be a little bit lighter.

Hello Bernard,
Magnific photo. Really good POV and lights. Nice composition.
Excellent work.

Une spirale couleur cannelle, très jolie plongée inversée, bien cadrée et intèressante... J'aime beaucoup...

GREAT CAPTURE, REALLY NICE POV.
TFS DAVE

It's giving me vertigo :P
I think it's not enough bright. I like that the staircases don't make a perfect spiral
