The picture seems really blotchy, and though I'm not sure what would cause that, it distracts me from the simplicity of the photograph. I really love the subject, though. If you cut just a little closer at the bottom, it would seem like the steps just went on forever.
I persnally wouldn't have chosen B&W for this shot, as there is very little texture to either the sky or the tower/chimney. However, the overall bleak, industrial gloominess of the piece makes it work.
This picture meets the challenge, it is fromt the ground up. That being said the whole picture is out of focus, and there is no contrast everything is almost the same shade of grey.
Unfortunately, photo looks a little grainy. Also, while the ladder leads the viewer through the whole photo, which is nice, there's nothing else to hold the attention.
Composed nicely, but the contrast is flat. I also find myself wishing for one additional visual element -- since I'm not sure what this is, I don't know what element I'd suggest -- just something to contrast all the perspective lines
Very interesting composition... somehow it reminds me of 1920s socialist propaganda, although I'm not sure why :). The ladder creates a sense of purpose, the converging lines and geometric shapes are interesting and somehow the lack of contrast works. I just think it's a bit dull though.
grey, grey and more grey. Interesting study in monochrome, if that was what you were after. I'd personally like more light, maybe a rising/ setting sun casting strong shadows on the rungs ? If the sky's always that colour maybe you don't see the sun much...
This is a good concept and I particularly like the tilt in this shot. I'm sure you will receive some comments the other way on that though... I think this shot woud be more impressive with some higher amount of contrast. In my opinion, there isn't enough contrast between this tower and the background. it would be really neat if someone was climbing the ladder. You probably ran into the same problem I had trying to get a similar shot. I bet this tower was fenced in and locked up! Good job...
