WOW!!!! What a spectacular, amazing and truly magnificent shot that is!! Great caption too! I love it a lot, Dan!

12/28/2004 12:14:34 AM

Stairs must be 'the subject' for the night (for you and I) - LOL.
Great capture Dan. Love the different tones you've captured.

Great shot once again, Dan. Love the colors and perspective!! Excellent capture!!

:-))

12/28/2004 12:21:01 AM

Gotta love that purple as much as that graceful perspective, Dan. Beautiful!!

12/28/2004 12:26:43 AM

Love the bold purple color in contrast to the wall, Dan! Beautiful shot and you are right in your perspective on the upward climb! More of your excellent work and creativity!!
Much Aloha,
Stan

12/28/2004 12:30:17 AM

LOL - wonderful find and shot, Dan!

12/28/2004 1:31:43 AM

Wow great contrast, perspective...great everything. I really like this, Dan.

12/28/2004 2:02:41 AM

Who wouldn't be inspired to photograph (and climb!) purple stairs! I like the gentle curving sweep and your perspective on this one, Dan!

12/28/2004 2:32:06 AM

Who wouldn't be inspired to photograph (and climb!) purple stairs! I like the gentle curving sweep and your perspective on this one, Dan!

12/28/2004 2:32:08 AM

Not necessarily! I worked in the BofA building in San Francisco in the '70's and the FBI was just above us. They had a bomb threat, and they made us all walk down those stairs (I was on the 23rd floor) down below street level to the basement before we could get out. Seemed easy at the time, but the next day none of us could walk from using those muscles you never use in the front of your legs. We all said never again. LOL

12/28/2004 2:40:19 AM

Great shot and composition, Dan! Love the purple.

12/28/2004 2:57:58 AM

Wonderful capture for a graphics abstract, Dan.

12/28/2004 2:59:29 AM

Terrific image, Dan!

12/28/2004 3:37:01 AM

Very nice, Dan. Like the line and color.
-cathy

12/28/2004 3:39:24 AM

Great composition Dan--excellent lines and colors!

12/28/2004 3:50:28 AM

Wonderful perspective on this image, Dan! I love the lines and color too!

12/28/2004 4:13:00 AM

Once again you have captured the ordinary and made it spectacular...love the curve of the wall and the lines of those steps. Beautiful colors of purple and orange compliment the image..so very well done Dan with another message that we can all relate to!!!

12/28/2004 4:27:32 AM

Wonderful capture and presentation, Dan!

12/28/2004 4:35:45 AM

This is great Dan! Why is it that the way up always feels like there is triple the stairs...lol

12/28/2004 4:39:11 AM

So cool Dan, love the colors and crop of these stairs!

12/28/2004 4:57:58 AM

Magnificent abstract, Dan, I love the subtle coloring, and the composition, and the linage. Very well done, my dear friend - your good friend, Allan

12/28/2004 4:59:33 AM

Great lines, perspective, and color, Dan ... when you get to the top, there is really no reason to go back down ;)

12/28/2004 5:31:04 AM

nice angle and color, the steps look steep to me....

12/28/2004 5:41:35 AM

Great capture and philiosophical analogy, Dan! I guess everyone's goal is to make it to the top, but there are a lot of obsticles to face along the way, but always a straight shot back to the bottom if one isn't careful!

12/28/2004 5:50:40 AM

Marvelous image, Dan, and your comment is so true!!

-Debby

12/28/2004 5:57:56 AM

This is so clever, Dan! Two main colors, simple elements, STRONG image results. As for the stair climb. I guess nobody would really appreciate the stair trek if it were too easy to get to the top...and do we really want to get to the tippity top? Not sure. There is a saying, "Two steps forward; one step back." I like challenges!
Kathleen

12/28/2004 6:21:46 AM

great image dan!!! love the colors and perspective...very nice!!!

12/28/2004 6:48:11 AM

12/28/2004 6:49:09 AM

Great eye Dan! The colors and detail are simply wonderful, not to mention your composition - once again!

12/28/2004 7:02:40 AM

12/28/2004 7:35:41 AM

Wow Dan, what an excellent image! I really like this!

12/28/2004 7:49:08 AM

When you open the photo it seems that stairs never want to stop and it seems that there are many steps also in the way down....! Anyway even if we are not agree if there are more steps up or down, I really think that this photo and its colours are wonderful! Congratulations Dan!

12/28/2004 9:20:21 AM

Terrific image, Dan! Wonderful perspective, colors and comp!
