I think that the shadow is incorrect. When the light would be from the back, such shadow in front of this guy would be ok, however when the light is from the front side, the vertical parts of the stairs should not be shaded.
Christoph Hessel  Thanks for Your thoughts Mikolaj, indeed the shadow is correct but stressed in editing. There are reflecting elements on platform above, I partly cloned out.

Sergio De Rosa 10 months ago
The use of light is simply stunning, It is clear that behind your eyes there are Magritte, Dalì, some of the pop-art and some reminiscence of Caravaggio. The mainshadow falling down behind the man while intersecting the lateral one from the left wall gives a strange mood . . . it seems that this trip to the light is something more. It is an oniric trip. It is the ideal couterpart of the other work of yours 'passenger'. There the b/w gives a real feeling. Here the colour is used to transfigurate the reality.
This is not photography, my friend . . . this is art ! Congratulation.
Christoph Hessel  What a pleasing comment Sergio, I am so glad about! I am realy glad this wonderful words, thanks a lot

Tony D 10 months ago
Now how did i know in screening this was your Christoph, we used to have a TV program in the UK which you may have had in your country called "The man from uncle" this reminds me so much of one of the main cartures.
Christoph Hessel  Hi Tony, unfortunately, I sold my TV 8 years ago, so I do not know. I am very glad thatbYou like it
Christoph
Tony D  Well the Man from uncle was from the 1960's as a child it formed a great impression on me, staring Robert Vaughn
and David McCallum both were big names in hollywood movies. may be worth you goggling the man from uncle so you can see what i mean, some of your recent images have also given me a simular feeling.
FrankBa 10 months ago
Simple in his expression
straight to the point
a great one for sure
Excellent work

Magritte did not came to my mind straight but of course a Magritte feeling here
Well done

Christoph
Daniel Ecoff 10 months ago
Yes, I love your post in this and appreciate its Magritte feel.
Christoph Hessel  Daniel, so may thanks although I unfortunately never will be more than a simple photographer and although I am afraid that both, Hopper as well as Magritte would become angry, if they read, I am glad about this compliments
Christoph
Daniel Ecoff  not sure I agree with you on the angry part and Im not implying that you intended your image to look Magritte'ish, but as artists we are all guilty of influences and paying homage to one is an expression of flattery in my book.
Daniel Ecoff  I am wondering thou why you decided to have the walls so different
in tone from each other ?

Very well Chris,I used to say for anyone who is going to critique forum or to piblish an image, or even for the new members Good Luck,I think now if I am going to say something to you ,then I will not mention the word Good Luck ,it seems to me more than ever that you do not need it ,as it was shown in this fine image,it is a talent I guess,and you have got it.
This image was among my choice at first fry .
Despite the war of the roses ,I am still waiting the reply to my third OE.
wish to see other two images of you soon to complete this small 16 image small board to the right.
