Description

I've fished this out of my 2007 photos that I took using my Traveler DC 5300 for the current Reality? group theme of spirals. I uploaded one in 2007 before I had PS and so this one I have been able to put through levels and contrast and repair some of the white spots. Other than that it is just as I saw it.
Thought it might be worth sharing here too.

Helen - this is AB FAB! Of all of your work, this is my favourite. The comp is spot on and the processing works so very, very well. Beautiful light. So simplistic and yet so much.

Shortlisted.

Love it. Has a very abstract feel to it. The rail looks like it crosses from outside against the wall to the inside of the steps at this point, probably due to you interesting angle.
