oh hell yes. the wide angle gives this an unsettling distortion, but the processing completely removes that. it's got a dream-like quality to it that makes the distortion seem almost normal. well...normal for a dream that is. My dreams, anyway. Especially lately. Last night for instance I had this crazy one where I...oh. sorry. went on a tangent there. Anyway, yeah. I love this.
I would have scored this higher except that the shoes are so deep in shadow that I almost didn't even notice them. Other than that little technicality, I love this picture.
I like the old fashioned feel but I'd straight it out to make the risers parallel with the bottom of the image. I guess if you did that then the banister might be wrong though. Hmmmmm.
