  The graphics, textures and lighting are superb, JudyAnn. Knowing the subject's history adds to the melancholy mood of this image.

  Fantastic element of design capture with all the lines, angles, textures, shadows and tones of grayscale. Nice work JudyAnn.

  The title along with the brilliant quality of your work in black and white combine to give us this powerful and emotional image. Beautifully composed, I love the lighting and the eerie feel as we imagine someone climbing those stairs, one at a time, to their death. Incredible work my friend.

  Thank you SO much, Joseph... it was chilling to be standing under it for the photos, especially since I was all alone. I have an image of the drop doors complete with rusty ol' hinges too! Thanks again... *:)) JudyAnn

Great photographers are not great because of their technique; they are great because of their passion.
Congratulations for your achievement, August, 25, 2011. Merna
