Como un torbellino marino, esta escalera nos atrae y nos lleva a recorrerla una y otra vez. Una foto muy captivante, por su simplicidad y por sus tonos monocromaticos suaves. El detalle, hazar o no, de la puerta abierta completa la foto, dando mas lugar a la imaginación...y una salida visual alternativa.
Me encanta!

hasta otra compañera,

A por cierto...ya ves que al final repeti y una foto mia fue aceptada. Ya nox iremos escribiendo,
ciao!

you chose a similar title to my vertigo series... great! And you added some people downstairs to give an impression of sizes. Great idea and very well done!

Great shot what an amazing perspective. I really like the figures at the bottom of the stairs they add a little extra to the photo

excellent composition.

I wanted to say one more thing, that ines is my favourite name. I wished to name my daughter Ines, but my wife did not allow me. (because of it being portuguese spanish)
Inés Montenegro  Thank you Arjun! :-) Even in this area of Spain it's quite an uncommon name ;-) What name did you finally choose?
Arjun  well i lived in portugal for 2 years, my landlady's grand-daighters name was ines.
She explained me the meaning of it. I always liked it.
Anyway my wife named our daughter as Snehal, which means love in hindi language.

Very good

That is an intriguing staircase, I have never seen anything like it. You have caught it very well with an well balanced and well thought of composition.
Inés Montenegro  Really intriguing, you bet! Such were the masters of the past :) Thanks for your comment!

Thanks so much for all your comments! This is really fantastic as it's my first published photo :-) It's also my first week around OE, so I'm still trying to come to terms with the site... so please be patient when I put my foot into it :D

It makes me dizzy to look at this. This is an excellent use of a wide angel perspective!
Inés Montenegro  Thanks Martin! Most people choose to shoot it from below, but I much prefer this dizzying view :)

Ah! Just from the opposite side. Very good image too. I took some pictures from this side, but I did a better work from the bottom.
Inés Montenegro  Thanks Giulio! Like you, I tried "the other side", but I prefer this view, with less light problems :)
