[Notas - Normas] Nota do Artista
Hi TL Friends,

On Sunday, Helen & I went for a drive to the local mountains to walk around and catch some fresh air. But of course, if we came across anything of photogenic interest we would shoot it. As in this case, we found these stairs that lend up a path. Kinda reminded me of "Eden" hence, "A Stairway to Eden" not to be confused with "Heaven".lol., that was a little bit further up the path, where I could just make out the tune "Whole Lotta Love" sounded like someone was having a great time :)

Hi Constantinos

A good diagonal pov, leading up the stairs. Excellent sharpness & repetiton of lines. Well done!

.... and you just didnt keep walking a little bit further up the path..LOL..and take a peek.. hehe.

Lovely photo here Costas..it leads us to wonder what is up the top of the stairs.. where does it lead to... I can see you like photos like this...and of pathways/tracks etc.. the wonderment of what is beyond.. (I am the same).

thanks for sharing ..well spotted.

Cheers Dawn.

Nicely composed shot Constantinos, great use of lead in lines. Love the detail in the stonework too. TFS

Hi Constantinos i like the frame a lot, the atmsphere of tones is really beautiful.
regards

Hello Con, wonderful detail shown here, stonework is always attractive. Good lines and diagonals, rich European colourings. Showing our age referring to 'Led'? TFS

PS Many thanks for your comment on Pretty in Pink

Starting from the great perspective and the fine detail this is another lovely shot of yours. You surely pick nice places and then give us an eye pleasing view.

Still trying to work your way into the EOT, Κώστα ? LOL.
Ok, technically everything is ok, here. A classic, beautiful shot. I'd have asked Helen to sit on the stairs as I think it could do with a little more contrast in colours & shapes. I hope that was no barbed wire ? Anyway, the fence is sort of a disturbance in the shot - but demolishing it to get a perfect capture would be photographically un-ethical, I guess ;o).
TFS.

Hellen .. a word with you pleasse...
Thank you Hellen for taking care so good of my friend here ! Only a happy man can create happy things !
His photo's get growing in quality by the week!
So.. agan.. thank you dear Hellen, you should be in line for the Nobel price!

Hi Constantinos,

A walkway to who knows where, The shot fills me with wonderment as to whats beyond those steps, I can imagine a forest or gardens full of beautiful flowers. Excellent shot my friend.

John

Yasou Constantinos!
Will we see a photo representing '' Whole lotta love''???
(^_^)
Old Rock is still cool, if I look at the popularity of the Stones in Rio a few days ago....
interesting lines, diagonals and various textures on your composition. But on this one , I partularly like your funny note !
Cheers!

Love the Led! The only thing that throws me off about this image is the depth of field. It appears the foreground and background both are soft focused so I assume you focused on the wall or the green foliage on the left. Perhaps a bump up to f11 would have brought a little more clarity. B

oh, beautifull! all the stairs, the little fence on the side, remember the stairs, the soft light, being lighter when you go up the stairs.....very nice shot and compo, points tomorrow, sry

Very beautiful composition and fine details. Lovely mood !

tfs,
vlad

Good shot Con, like in real life we have to climb carreer ladders

Hi Constantinos,
This is very well photographed. I like the feel here, the stairs, seemingly leading to nowhere, so you have to decide where they go!

Hello Constantinos
Stairs and old trees are among my favourite subjects, here I get both!
Here the stairway makes me curious... where does it lead to?
Nicely composed, with good balance between the elements... Maybe a tad more sharpness, but that's just me!
Greetings,
Pablo -

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying the stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven.

Hi Constantinos. Nice shot and thanks for the reminder of this classic track.
