Weeeeee did you count them all! I think this is the best view and the way you caught the light is awsome making a path of great shadows! Nicely composed image Michele. The joy of getting a new camera...... You can take repeat photos and they won't be the same! hehe 7+
Congrats my frined. Love,
Paul

Michele -- I think both "new" versions are improvements in different ways. Excellent -- keep playing when you have time with other pictures as you create them. Both results on this one were very good. --Jan PS -- In fact, consider re-posting the color variation that Annemette suggested at full size.

Nice, very good the element of the shadow with the line of light between two shadow parts, that is a veeery good element here, good perspective and depth feeling Michele, and on that type of photos I like more to see blur background, yea, the use of wide aperture adds a lot on that.

Sorry Michele. I had no intention to upset you. I withdraw all I said.
Incidentally, THIS one now, has become something really interesting. Although, I was not urging you to modify THIS particular image - I was simply asking you to get some more (different) shots of the stairs..
Peace, Avi

Thank YOU Jan... I AGREE totally ... I immediately cropped the top off like Annemette suggested and I will attach it for you to view as well...I agree with your suggestion as well... I noticed from the start that there is potential in the shadows and tones, for an interesting abstract ...I just got in a hurry to post some STEPS...lol!!! Thank YOU so much Jan:))
Best wishes, Michele~

Thank YOU for your always pleasant commets dear Nicki.... YES :)) I am guilty I count all the steps .....BUT at one time I did live accross the street from these steps so I knew them sooooooo well- like I was up & down them everyday all day long :)) These used to be totally straight UP + Down 'no landing' area for people who need a rest....... NOW that was a really good shot but it has already faded ((((disinagrated))) away from saving to floppy disk...(It was many years a go -lol)))
Wishing YOU a Sunny and wonderful week-end as well my dear....love...michele~

Dear Annemette... this IS STAIRWOMAN -Lol !!!!
I really do have a 'thing' for steps tho and I am glad you notice it ... I have enough in my portfolio I know this :)) I loved your idea ...because YOU ARE RIGHT the shadows do get stronger and I was into the shadows too ... I immediately cropped it so I could show you , but I think I would also maybe fine tune the right side a bit darker like the shadows are too..... I like the look thou and appreciate your advise Very much my dear!!! You are sooooooo clever and I appreciate your in-put always . Thank YOU so much :))) I have attatched the cropped version . Best wishes, Michele~

Good eye to get this one, Michele. It is slightly tilted and a slight rotation would possibly give it more impact. I think Annemette's suggestion is a good one, too. You should play with this one a bit and see if you can come up with any variations you like as much or more. Regardless of any suggestions I think this is very good work. --Best to you, Jan

Dear Michele- stairwoman*LOL* I would crop off the top leaving only the stairs and no green. It will shorten the stairs, but I think the composition will get strong and interesting from doing this. Just a suggestion though! The shadows and texture come out in such a fascinating way when looking at it without the top. Take care Annemette
