Hi All,
Welcome your comments.

Interessting foto.It seems as though you have cloned out some disturbance on the foreground.It is now disturbing. The stairway creates a strong line to follow but unfortuanately it ends no where and is cut off.The picture on the wall is the main interest of the foto and is somewhat out of focus unless you intended it that way( softer look and feel).

Yoyo,

I love it. Nice abstract, great black and white.

Impressive as always,

Hi Piet and Jared, Thanks a lot for sharing your views. Really appreciated

This must have been a tough exposure to figure and still have the figure walking through the scene frozen -good timing too. I like the angled composition and I'm not bothered by the cut off rail on the right as there's enough in the scene that we substitute what's missing.
Nice work.
(What's the deal with the flipflop stuck on the guy's face in the poster?)

I also like this shot, Yoyo. It's got the strong tones and lines that work really well with black and white.
Nice work!

Yoyo - this is an unusual composition and for me it really works. The jagged lines of the stairway make the image feel dynamic but off kilter - its not something you can relax into, a feeling which perfectly compliments the strange advertisement in the background.

If the lone figure had related more to the overall scene somehow I think this could make a really great shot, but as it is I still think it is an interesting document of the city.

nice work

Very nice...works quite qell in b&w because of the unusual lighting of the stairwell.

Good perspective, Yoyo. My only thought for improvement, for me, is that I feel that the right side is cropped just a bit too tight. i would like to see the corner ( bottom edge of the stairs
) meet just inside the right frame.

Dear Yoyo,

You really got a good one here. It is a strong composition, and the black and white helps it a lot. And like Chunk said, great exposure in a tough situation. The lead lines of the staircase spiral the viewer from the top down, and finally rest on the person at the bottom, or maybe the lights. The lights in the bannister are really the point of the photo, and nothing really distracts from that. Great job.

Hi Chunk, Thanks for the words. The poster is about a play of man and wife. The man is beating by his wife with a flip-flop.

Hi McMadCow, Thanks for the kind words.

Hi Matt, Thanks for the detailed analysis. Your suggestion about the position of the guy is very good.

Hi Mahesh, Thanks for the comments.

Hi Gary, Thanks for sharing your view. Your suggestion on the corners is very good.

Hi Drew, Thanks for the comments.
