This is very good Jemma,
The spiral draws the eye down to the centre of the image. The figures add to the quality of the photo.

Beautiful. I tried to take a picture of this as well once & it didn’t turn out quite as good as this, so so nice.

Really cool capture!

Top job!

This is brilliant!

Exposure is spot on Jemma. lots of interest, love the focal length and those highlights on the balustrade and hand rails. A Fav.
Crispin

fantastic!

stunning shot, love the colours of the people against the darkness of the structures

seen hundreds of shots of this staircase, but this is easily the best! as a bit of a novice, this is something really inspiring! brilliant!

I remember going there. That staircase is breath taking, just like your photo

Coolness. The lighting was just right.

Wow, what a superb shot,

Fantastic, perfect golden ratio shot..

beautifull image.

Beautifully captured!!

great pic

what a round-round…. amazing capture….

There’s so much fun about this, the strong vortex we get drawn into, the tiny bits of color and movement, the overall shades of grey, the nice wide lens (and full frame sensor); and isn’t it fun that after taking a bunch of shots to create an HDR, that one hand held shot ruled the day – touché!!

p.s. And congrats on the Feature in the Canon group – well deserved!

Cool shot! Too bad the people werent wearing crazy animal costumes or something. I like the lighting.

Absolutely superb.

stunning pic ….like it

This is just brilliant, what awesome perspective and tones.

Brilliant perspective and lighting, well done.

Yes, well deserved. What spectacular architecture.

Super lighting, perspective, mood and capture. Well done. An instant fave.

Never been there, the line was too long. I like the tonality and the guy in red at the bottom. Nice work

I’m not real sure how I missed this one until! It’s spectacular! KUDDOS!

very nice—looks like one of those fibonnacci (sp?) swirls

awesome .. well done !

wow so outstanding, congrats on your feature, well deserved!!!

Great composition, terrific angel, an architectural abstract that captures the eye and want let go any more!

What a great picture. I remember the staircase and I’m now kicking myself I didn’t see this great composition.

Unreal shot, the vignetted corners add an amazing touch to this composition aswell.

superrrrrrrrrr amazing!

very, very nice

mmmmm the b&w with colour highlights works great with an intriguing topic

I am impressed by this “twirl” point of view! My congrats!

Brilliant capture!!!

wow its Amazing!! :)

great composition…. wonderful photo

OK, let’s just face it Jemma… I’m such a total sucker for spirals. And when they’re in gradient shades of grey, and with random figures dotting the descent… and with ornate art nouveau bannister and single pedestal at the center with a flash of red and yellow against the monochrome right where my eyes come to rest in this pefectly engineered composition… it just goes orgasmic.
But it’s not only down to the form itself. It’s as much to do with how you place it in its frame. Since the beginning of human appreciation of art, the spiral, placed in roughly this position within a frame of these proportions is accepted as the most visually pleasing composition.
I can’t explain why that is, but I dig this massivley and that’s why it’s spiraling its way into my favs.
Awesome work!!

OMG!!! that is insane
One of the top shots in Redbubble. Well Done.

Wow! This is great.

great work

so much like the spiral of a shell…very interesting tone & minimal colour & texture. :]

Wow, that is mind blowing. Great shot.

Very cool – - -

This is very good! Do you earn a living with your photos? Have you ever thought about using your photos for geeting cards or calendars?

FANTASTIC! ;-)

What a gabulous image!!

I’ve seen loads of shots from this viewpoint, but this is the best so far. Wonderful!

Simply stunning shot. Keeping the colour tones in was a great idea rather than having the image look too mono.

Beautiful shot SJ – excellent!!
