Oasis Stairs Photo

Photographer’s Note

Ihis image was taken while on holiday at the Oasis holiday village near Penrith in Cumbria.
The village has now been taken over by the Centre Park group.
The village caters for 'action' holidays, swimming, cycling, walking etc.
The stairs are leading from the swimming dome (If you like see my shot of this - http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Europe/United_Kingdom/photo35576.htm)
area to the Indian restaurant.
I like the angles in this shot how about you?

Very nice. My eyes are travelling at the speed of light right into the little girl due to all the lines that seem to be leading there (the most prominent being the yellow fence/rail on the right). I just wish you cloned out the other people that are visible through the bars...would have made the imapact of the shot much greater. Anyway, wonderful work. Would also like to see this one in B&W as well...just another option. Well done!

I like it, there is a great dynamic into it cause of the POV that you used and the wide DOF. The shadows on the ground and on the banister work well. Good one Stephen

The angles are great. They all point to that child. And they do it so strongly with the strong, clear, colors and sharpness. It also works nicely with the curve of the concrete in contrast to the more straight angles. The repeating pattern of the shadows adds even more to the feel of depth. It really does draw us in really quickly as gringofil said "at the speed of light". Very nice.
