Wonderful perspective and composition Nikki. I like the simplicity of the lines and the person adds a warm element. Nice work.

  Yes, Tammy, the title is Mel's -- she's so very handy and talented :)-- and she's one of my "friends". I was also having jpeg artifact problems on this one so I had lots of input and suggestions from others, too.
Thanks for liking this one so much, everyone. I re-edited it at least 3 times so though it was a simple edit, the time invested was horrendous. I like to think it was worth it.

  What great design elements here, Nikki. That sweep of stairs is marvelous, as is the corresponding sweep of the wall and railing. I think my favorite element of them all is the shadowed figure at the top of the stairs, which adds that perfect little touch of mystery. Want to bet we see this again? :)

  Nikki -- I love the composition, the POV, the lines and contrasts, and the person on the top of the stairs who adds interest and perspective. This is truly exceptional. I really hope we see this again... and again. So well done.
