Stairway

Thanks, guys!

I would get rid of the sprinkler(?) in the middle of the ceiling.

Here's a sprinklerless version...


...and also a sprinklerless, pictureless version...


I suck at Photoshop, plus these are quick and dirty edits.

Not sure how I feel about these compositions. On one side they look cleaner (and more abstract in the case of the last one); at the same time I feel they are missing something...

Very nice indeed - lovely composition and exposure. An alternative might be to have something on the stairs to break up the symmetry - a child, teddy bear, or something unusual. How about a slinky?

I completely agree; I like symmetries, but I LOVE almost-symmetries. I prefer not to stage my photos, though... and there wasn't anything there to break the symmetry this time

It was a pale green. Good eye!

I think I prefer the original too. The building is the Pioneer Courthouse in Portland, Oregon, by the way.

Thanks for your feedback, guys!

I wish you could see more of the portrait at the end of the stairs, instead of just the head of it.

I like version 2. I feel that the sprinkler acts only as a speed bump as you eye goes down the runway to the room. However, I agree that the picture, or something else dark is needed in the room. The rectangular picture works well, but I do not like the amount of portrait that is visible, not in a sense of overall composition, but the composition of just the portrait.

This basically sums up my feelings about this image. I've grown to like version 2 more as days passed.

Agreed too. However, to make more of the painting visible, the shot would've had to be taken at a higher angle, which in turn would've changed the concept altogether. It was a trade-off, and the painting lost

Thanks for the feedback, everybody.
