Thanks Sue.. appreciate the comment!

This is a great shot Paul. I think that having the people there is better that having it empty. Fantastic.

Thanks Paul.. I appreciate your comment about the people.. I agree!

Super image!
The sepia works well with this, and of course the composition is top notch!
Excellent!

Thanks Martin.. I appreciate the comment!

Great capture. I love the sepia tone which emphasizes the age and granduer of the building.

Thanks Joolz… the building certainly does have some grandeur to it!

Fantastic perspective, great colour and lovely use of light. Perfect capture too – are those peeps models or is it perfect timing? Amazing shot!

Thanks Jenny.. The people were memebers of the paying public! I wish I could set up a shoot there! Lucky with the timing I guess! :-)

This is great – shadowing and light work together very well here.

Beautiful , excellent shot

this is exceptionally good

Your portfolio is crammed with brilliant photography.

Splendid shot! the tones and shadows realy show of this beautiful work of art. Great work Paul.

I think of M.C.Escher when I see this. (one of my favourites)
And yes, it does look like a large shell. I too adore spiral staircases-
this is propably among the top best 3 I’ve ever seen. (Photographically
speaking, that is.) Gorgeous work and VERY cool photo!

I think I prefer it with people. :-)

increbible shot :)

awesome work

Great shot! fav this.

Another great shot of yours to add to my favs!

Did I tell you how much I like this??!

Oh right.
Been here.
Heh…....

(seriously, my all time favourite here..of ALL shots.)
I like it that much.

another amazing photo.. this image has a great perspective and fantastic lines.. well done

MASTERPIECE

Très cool.. I’m actually feeling a little dizzy looking at it..!!
Beautiful tones and perfect composition

Great stuff , framing is brilliant

Unreal!!

Aaaah…. i was here when i visited Rome… this place attracts so many photographers its not even funny… what i love with your shot, however, is that you chose not to include the entire spiral, seeing as to how thats exactly what a lot of people tend to do when they take pictures of this staircase. and the people in this photo really add to it as well, especially since they create their own pattern on the staircase! i.e – 1st stair level is empty, 2nd stair level has a person, 3rd stair level is empty again, 4th stair level has a person, and so on. tonal range is great too!

hehe i could go on and on but i’ll just say this is an overall brilliant shot and leave it at that! great work, Paul!

Phenomenal! You definitely have an eye for a heart stopping composition.

Really great work! Love the composition and pov!

This is a truly stunning shot!!!

I know it’s an incredible staircase isn’t it, i thought my pic of it was nice but this is AWESOME. Well done and i actually love seeing the people in it.

great! i agree, the people add to it. what a fab shot!

great capture. gorgeous!

I went with school for a week to Rome, but we didn’t see the Vatican museum, so I missed this. This picture makes me want to go back!

awesome! nice work.

amazing perspective! just love your creativity and work Paul!

this one is perfection

great photo well done

This is a beautiful shot. I love the composition.

fantastic perspective …. looks great in the sepia … great portfolio Paul and congrats on the Daily wrap interview ….

Amazing point of view, great atmosphere. Frozen in time

Beautiful composition…almost hypnotic quality to it. Well done, Paul.

WOW! What a great capture!

Great timing and composition, this is just a well documented stair case, but your tighter then average crop gives it a fresh new feel.

awesome perception, well done

Fantastic shot!

Beautiful tones and comppsition!

Thanks again to everyone for all your fantastic comments on this.. its definately one of my favourites… :-)

One of the better ones I’ve seen Paul. Love the monotone look and how you’ve captured the two people in the similar position on the stairs. Well done.

Great image. Love the perspective and sense of balance created by the two people walking down the stairs. Nice detail and tone :)

all i can say i WOW!!

I was there last week; it was incredible and I love that staircase!

Great perspective and toning – superb!

What a perfect capture, the detail, the perspective, composition… everything. Love it!

Very cool stairway! I love the fact that it makes you wonder what is carved on the sides. I also love the shrinking of the stairs as it goes down.

Beautiful perspective and angle, Paul. I love the sepia tone too. Cheers!

This is a brilliant image Paul. Well done!!!
