Love it. Excellent PoV and composition. Great graphic art kind of quality to it. For me it changes directions the longer I stare at it. #9781227

Thanks so much, Ellen! I got my 10-22 wide angle lens specifically after enjoying and envying Katarina Mansson's great spiral stair photos---so I was very happy to finally find (locally) a beautiful spiral to shoot. #9801440
