Thank you all, you were all so kind. My highest rating so far. And yes, those are my feet. Let's just say it's a self-portrait :-).Message edited by author 2005-04-26 01:56:29.

I have a weakness for these images. Very good capture.

Wow, I want this lens! Great staircase, placement of your subjects and composition.

I believe this is the first photo I have ever seen in which the result of using a fish-eye lens is unequivocably superior to the shot that could be had otherwise. The strong rhytmic shapes make this an extraordinary shot. Some quibbles: I wish I did not see the photographer's khakis, and I wonder whether the shot might not have been stronger without the other people. Finally, I'd have been tempted to clone out those funny brackety things on either edge of the photo.

Excellent focus, cropping,compositon. Great entry!

Wonderful angle and perpective. Great added interest with the people. If you have control over your settings, this would made a great shot with a model dressed in an all black suit running up the steps blurred completely (letting my imagination run sorry) like the Cartier-Bresson of the man on the bicycle. Well back into the real world --- Beautiful! 9.

wicked unique shot. like it!

Neat wide angle perspective of the stairway. Nicely exposed & composed. Super!
Post actions
Very nice I really like the symmetrical composition and the people on the stairs adds a lot of perspective to the overall image but what appears to be the photographers legs should have been avoided.

I like this, funky fisheye shapes and all, but ... you know what's coming don't you ... wait for it ... your legs are in shot!

This captured my eye and keeps it looking around the photo. Nice composition. The two women add a lot as well. 9

Fisheye ?.

Museum of Cotemporary Art - Chicago. I love it!!!

This image is stunning, but I'm not crazy about the fact that I can see your feet. I'm still voting this very high, but it might be nice if you cloned yourself out later on. That part of the photo seems dark enough that it should be easily achieved. Nice Job!

Whoa! Glad I'm not looking at this while drunk! LOL!

Wonderful photo. Very crisp, clear and great DOF. I found the presence of the two ladies a tad distracting, but not enough to sway my score. You should do well in this very difficult challenge.

Wearing khaki's while shooting? Great subject, though! Very interesting architecture!

Absoluely classic composition, form and lighting. Love it!
