This was taken at the Grand Staircase of the Art Institute of Chicago -- as were my last three entries. I love this spot, as you can tell. Great light, angles and lots of people. I hoped this image captured a bit of Deb's keen eye for composition and an interesting moment.

Great shot, love all the stripes: the stairs, the shirts! I would probably crop it a bit tighter, with the mom, the son, the girl on the right.. and the arse ;)
Made me smile!! The stripes - all those stripes! This would make PennyStreet happy (she's good at stripes) but it's also "me" in that it's a wonderful wide view with stories galore, not the least of which is that butt in the center. The young patron seems less than impressed, however. The low angle, the B&W, the wide view, the characters everywhere - very me indeed.
