The steps could have many meanings: "stepped" habit breaking programs; the person ascending and descending these steps day after day to their location; the steps repeating and repeating, an inanimate "habit". I don't have much interest in photographs that are merely literal interpretations of the challenge. Although they may be pleasing from an aesthetic standpoint, many of these photos don't ask the viewer any questions, are not open to interpretation and do not challenge the viewer. That is why I try to take a broader, more interpretive approach to the challenges, although this is often at the peril of low marks from people who don't get it at first glance. I'm not sure I suceed or come close to sucess with these pics, however, that is at least my goal --- to do something more than a literal interpreation of the challenge.

I thought I commented on this photo but those notes must not have "taken" - so here goes again:
I really like the colors here, the isolation of the red is really fun. The composition of the lines in the triangle forms and then steps all leading our eye through the frame is really well done - I like the DOF and the textures you captured.
I really like the angle of this shot and the slight colorization of some of the bricks. I am very loose on "meeting the challenge", but even for me, a bit of a stretch thinking of inanimate objects having habits. Too bad -- I think it would have been an awesome pick for the "unusual viewpoint" challenge.
