 I had this idea from the beginning but didnt end up shooting it till the very last day. I went around campus shooting different staircases and i came to the realization that spiral staircases look so much better... but its a diagonal challenge so I have to give the masses some straight lines. Im not too crazy about shot but i'll be keeping my fingers crossed :-)

Vertigo!! Nice detail and I love your lighting, composition and idea. This reminds me of an M.C. Escher drawing. This is a 10 imho.

A lovely shot. One criticism -- too much white in the lower right corner. But a cool thought.
