Hey I liked the first one too... would go well with the jumping theme. Like this one too. Careful how far you hang over the railing now...

Conrad L. Conero June 10, 2008

I think this focuses one's attention more into the center of the photo and is an improvement in that respect, Robert. Lets see what the others think. #6042373

Lonnie M. Scott June 10, 2008

Hi Robert...nice job. I have taken decending and asending shots of stairs and have found as long as you have part of the stairs in focus and enough contrast you cant loose. This is just plain fun photography and never gets old to the viewer. #6042458

Robert Valenzuela June 10, 2008

Thank you Conrad for your advise it does look better and thank you Lonnie it was a fun shot after a permanent resporator implated lol #6042580

Great job cropping your foot out, it looks so much nicer and well balanced, good job,I haven't read any other comments, just want to get out of here.
I am getting Vertigo! ~Pat #6043908

Robert Valenzuela June 10, 2008

In Honor of Pat I renamed my picture Vertigo lol #6043947

Graham Robards June 10, 2008

LOL my coffee went splat all over the screen ha ha. Thank you for the honor, the title does the image justice and suits it,I had a quick peek and you really did re-name it, great joke, I love it!!!

I think it ever so funny you caught your foot in the other shot. Heck, where was the other one, over the railing! HA

Well Sonny, now you know how Grammy feels ALL THE TIME! Dizzy! In fact this picture makes me feel BETTER. I think it gives me my balance back. Hang on.

There now.

If you look again closely you'll see my WALKER down there at the bottom. I threw it over. Just don't need it anymore thanks to you.

Hope I didn't dent your picture up as it did hit quite a few things on the way down. #6070245

Graham Robards June 27, 2008

great stuff robert! I love having the square floor tiles in sharp focus at the bottom - it provides a nice contrast to the circling symmetry! plus.... you get a bonus from me for still using TMAX film - I still love my minolta X700! :-) #6188470

Laura E. Swan level-classic July 16, 2008

Granny would do an EP dance for you Sonny but she might just fall over the edge here. Wanna piece of stale peanut brittle instead? Here. Reach into the jar. I've got lots! -Granny #6189560
