Sur l'escalier
Uploaded: July 05, 2011
Picture was taken under the big arch at La Défense which a major business district for the city of Paris, France.
Note that the persons were sitting in these positions; they were not placed there afterwards in Photoshop. I was waiting and moving around on location to get the people in "suitable" positions for my frame ;)

I'm glad to see this again (or maybe it's not the same exact shot). I thought it should've been the GP last month. It's just phenomenal. #9509317Marcie A. Fowler July 06, 2011
Love this image. Love the different lines and shapes within the frame and that you included a couple people. Well done. #9510485Jane Holestine July 06, 2011

Well waited for and seen... :-) #9510775Mary Beth Aiello August 08, 2011
I agree with Michelle -- this is a Grand Prize -- and my PG 101 fave. Simply outstanding in every way, Katarina. The lines and lines and lines. Perfect. The placement of the people. Perfect -- and your waiting truly paid off. The overall comp, shapes, and contrasts. Perfect. A masterpiece. #9590368Chris Budny January 09, 2012
