Nicely captured.

Great job. I like the composition and the colours.

[MarvinTheSpartan]

Well done, the colors look great.

[FrankMi]

Beautiful, well executed composition Tony!

[Mike Buckley]

It makes a nice abstract for me. I would never have known that it's a staircase.

Great shot Tony!

What do you mean this is a staircase??? Nice composition but I cannot connect this to be a staircase...and if this is, I would probably use the slide to go down instead..

[Tony M]

Thanks all for your comments.

Izzie, maybe this perspective will make things a bit clearer. It's shot from the top of the stairs. The first one was shot from the bottom; imagine me lying on the ground amongst the blue and yello cushions on the floor in this photo. I wish there were a slide; it'd be great fun!

Tony, after seeing the "top to bottom", I see why you chose the "bottom to top" perspective.
That Golden Ratio is always impressive...well done my friend.

Yes it is reminiscent of the Golden Spiral, or Fibonacci Spiral. I don't know if it was the intention of the designer; I haven't found any information about that.

Super shot Tony, I love the composition

Tony...the last one is more like a staircase...sorry you have to upload the explanation. Very interesting that it follows the Fibonacci spiral too now that Tony Marshall mentioned it.

Great work Tony, well executed.

Another question, do you know the material of the brown structure going up through the centre? It looks like timber but.

[FootLoose]

Goos shot, Tony. I definitely prefer the first.

Grahame, it's oxidised iron.

Good shot, Tony. I definitely prefer the first.

Thanks Greg. It also prefer the first. The second is really just to show what the first really is!
