:shock: Love the contrast and details you can get in the shot. And also the symmetry of the triangles of the stairs to the triangle of the sky. Excellent work :thumbsup:

So simply yet so striking! :thumbup:

I think a thumbsup should also go to the architecht who designed these stairs coz they're also very nice. :thumbup:

perfect balance... very soothing to look at.
i prefer the black and white version "way" much more

yes, i find it a little fake looking as well ... the edited one is better IMO, but the sky might have a tad too much contrast. nice detail on the staircase!

Love the black and white and the high contrast!!!

 

[LittleMan]

really amazing!!!
Great photo!

This one is 'jaw dropping'

 

[aprilraven]

the black and white one gives a stark dramatic effect..almost moody....but the color one is just as beautiful....dang, jon...love them both...

 

[JonMikal]
