 I love stairs. We could do a stairs challenge every month and I wouldn't complain. I like the lines, curves, and general composition of this one, and there is something I love about the girl climbing onto the window sill.

I absolutely love this, Mark. Congrats on the red. I agree with Anita's reference to Escher. There are definitely some mind bending aspects to this.

This would be a great picture without that climbing girl, but it's so much more with this lovely living element! Congrats!

Wow, is what I thought when I first saw this. It's good eye Mark!! Perfectly framed with the girl using rule of thirds. I was wondering if you would go back to this location again, if this is the same location as you used in 'from above' :-)

Ribbon for sure.

Bumping to a 10, and I don't normally hand out many these days!

Btw this reminds me of Escher, and I love his work.
