Photographer’s Note

Escaped from a traffic jam, I took the first exit from the Amsterdam ring highway. I had to stop and navigate my way with the help of a map, and then I saw this stairwy.

Back to your comfortable territory: architectural structures. Good color contrast and the lines are engaging.

Very finally done Yitzhak, though you could probably get rid of some of the noise in the blue sky to advantage. Since you are such a fine initiator of themes it might be nice to create one for exterior staircases. I'm reminded in viewing this excellent example of Olli's breathtaking Stairs.

You manage the geometry of this capture wonderfully. Fine work, and as Manny notes, a hallmark of your best graphism. Excellent.

You can not resist in a good architecture or industrial scene Yitzhak;-) Nice perspective and PoV. the contrast against the sky is very effective! A good example of how a very common object can be a very good photo!

Hi Yitzhak

Superb graphism & repetition. Almost a spiral staircase! Godd tonal range & I like the layered clouds. Well done!

A very nice industrial stairs, the curve and the horizontal and vertical lines are excellent, and you make the photo good angle. The sky and the small white clouds is nice. Thanks for visiting my photo.

Great abstract shot from you again.
I like the colours here and the different parts: the stairs, the wall and the blue sky with some clouds. Maybe I walk here everyday and never saw it...

Very good composition, you had a great sky also to give you a very good background to this beautiful picture.

Yes, a good graphism you found here with the metal semi-spiral staircase, Itzik, and the tiled wall in the back. The blue sky and clouds make a fine background for this. Would probably also look great in b&w and with a punch more contrast, but I like that you kept it in color and "natural".

An interesting treatment of a common subject. Good angle with the stair post just outside the edge of the building and the clouds fill the rest of the frame nicely.

Cher Yitzhak,

Où que vous soyez (grand voyageur), c'est plus fort que tout, vous arrivez à trouver une composition qui vous correspond !
Etonnant ?
Là encore, c'est un succès, l'escalier hélicoïdal est utilisé à des fins artistiques.
Bravo, une fois de plus.
Très bien vu, Yitzhak.

I've been also in Netherlands not a long time ago and was also in the traffic jam... but never had the idea to do a such composition! Well done, Yitzhak... Very well framed!

This is a Yitzhak shot ! Even if now you have many styles of photos, these kinds of shots always means Itzik to me. Very good composition. The color of the sky is in good contrast with the darker metal.
