It was nice to be able to enter this challenge. I tried several different locations on the coast and took this shot while walking around before work in the Embarcadero Center in San Francisco.
Thank you for all the votes and favorites. This photo was barely edited. I think my favorite little bit is the evenly cut circles at the top of the image.

By the way, my favorite part of the color version is the yellow glow at the very bottom - kinda like the heart of the flower and everything opens and flows from that.
I loved this, Joe. The swirls and shapes, plus the high contrast between the inorganic, monochrome steps and the organic, bright green plant ... just wonderful!
I just realized that this viewpoint is included in a recent internet emailing of "CERDFotos.pps". However your entry is seriously crisper, and has much better post processing! Good capture, great lines!
Oh fun image! I love the patterns in the tile work and the curves of the railings. The asemmetry works great with this image, and the splashes of color from the plants are great. Did you have to add lighting on the bottom floor by the plant? My only issue is the framing of the closest bars, i would like to have seen it centered on the middle bar or centered in the middle of the bars. 6
great, fantastic, wonderful location. Love the little hint of yellow right at the bottom and all those great tile patterns. Long for something cliched like a woman in a full red dress walking up the stairs.
That splash of colour in the middle of an otherwise mostly B&W image is icing on the cake! I love the patterns, the swirls, the point of view. This is my kind of photo.
