  FABULOUS image, Peter! The subject is fascinating, and the detail and value tones are superb. But your POV makes it a REAL standout, as it's an unusual angle, not directly facing the staircase. Love this--and I KNOW I'll be back to congratulate you when the finalists/winners are announced! :)

  I don't know what happened there but I was going to say, ornate is the perfect adjective to describe this fire escape. I have never seen another like it. Great detail, texture and POV. Nice work, Peter.
