I LOVE this image. It is minimalism at it's best and it is eloquent.

Ryan,
Yeah i am not using the greatest scanner so i am dealing with what it gives me.
this actually is a crop from the original!
The bottom was 3x longer before!

Great composition Mike. I guess its blown on the lower left. I bet this would look fantastic in B&W.

Cheers :)

Pradeep,
Thanks for the comment.
This was shot on kodak BW400CN film so it is B&W.
IT is processed in c41 chemical so it may have a tint to it due to the print.

Mike,

Not having seen the original, I still bet this is a much stronger shot with a crop right up to the bottom of the stairs - nice work.

Best,
Jon

Thanks for the comment Jon.

Jon and all who suggested a different crop, you can go here: vazaar.com/user:mikeock/photos/id:27771/

brilliant capture! i like the composition with the graphical elements and all the lines. cool shadow found!

The shadow is wonderful. It shows a story outside of the frame. Well done.

Titled "Rorschach Testing 1? 2?"

Me gusta, quizá un poco oscuro.

Nice work with the topic - great shadow - very surreal.

Best,
Jon

I like the shot, but just want a bit more brightness, or maybe it's just that Vazaar needs a "black" background option.

it looks fine to me,or maybe my monitor is too bright..!
thanks for the comments ana,jyg and ryan..

Congratulations on the feature. Very interesting textures.

Very nice one!

great shot, I love this composition

makes me want to dance. wonderfully framed.

Great idea

Very cool :) Just one question - how did you take the picture - I can't see the shadow of the camera...?

Nicely done. Great idea.

@redcat77: I was waiting for someone to ask the question :)
I had the camera on a strap around my neck, a wide-angle lens and simply put it on timer.

this is very fun. love it and thanks for the smile.

love this composition

Thank you Amy.
