Photographer’s Note

Another shot from my Southampton travelogue. This nice metal stairway is located near the Southampton marina. I like its four levels structure and the curious tissue parts that protect the last stages. Quality could be better but I only had my 2Mb venerable Ixus. There is a pole at the foreground and the only way I found to avoid it was to carefully choose my angle so it is superposed on the left part of the structure.
Tech: crop, levels/curves adj., and USM (enough ?)

Nice graphical impact Rudy in this shot of the stairway, with a lot of upward-leading lines and shapes. Even though your angle - as you explain in your note - was not 100% voluntarily chosen, it is quite effective. The colors and light are pretty well rendered as well, and my answer to your "enough" question would be "yes" ;-)

Bonne composition pour laquelle il devait être difficile de trouver un bon angle, apparemment. L'intérêt graphique du sujet que tu avait choisi aurait peut être pu être rendu pas un vue plus proche ? Pas simple quand l'aspect technique nous limite, n'est-ce pas ? Pour l'avoir vécu, je sais que cela n'est jamais très gai. Toujours est-il que la luminosité et le jeux des ombres sont très bien rendus. Bravo Rudy !
