Excellent picture! I love how it is bleu toned, it sets a cool effect. Great topic for this photo, the spiral makes the photo so interesting! Just curious, where was this taken?
Nice job!

Cherie Spike   {K:-21959} 1/17/2004
This is great Hugo, beautiful in fact. Without going into the lovely shapes of the stairs, the colour and grainy effect are great!

Jim Goldstein   {K:21230} 1/17/2004
The toning in PS really makes this different enough to stand out from similar shots. The grain also adds to the atmosphere of the shot. Very well done! Great composition.

this is very, very good!!


Daniel Knutsen   {K:3871} 1/17/2004

Hola Hugo. ?Tomada hace 30 años con Tri-X ?! Genial! El tono azul que le has dado con PS es de muy buen gusto. La iluminación inmejorable. Felicidades!


Jorge Vasconcelos   {K:33746} 1/20/2004
Excellent picture with an excellent perspective.The blue tone is a must.
Thanks for your comments to my Calafate?s Posada de Los Alamos shot.Where the King of Spain was...and a week later,myself.When I use my camera I want to get ,maybe not the most beautiful, but the most peculiar of that place.Be it a landscape ,a monument or a face.You may have notice, no churchs in my pictures.Not because I have anything against, but because they were not that peculiar.But a corner of a street, a girl in a street, an add to a Posada , could have that little thing that make it different.I believe I did a different coverage of Buenos Aires,Patagonia,Tierra del Fuego.I tried to get what is not usual, not seen in other places, what is individual,peculiar.I still have some more pictures,from Argentina.They will follow next.
Regards and thanks for your support.

querido hugo,
the toning wouldn't have been necessary to make this an exceptional picture. but it may help to get more attention for it, that's true. great b/w work with tastefully added effect.

Andrew Lahanas   {K:7044} 1/25/2004
Hugo, I am looking at all your photos in your portfolio, and this one is very special. The composition and colour are great. I think the blue tone does make it more interesting and nicer to look at. The grain is good and the way the spiral meets in the centre makes it look like a shell. Well done.


Alberto Ferrero   {K:5762} 1/25/2004
Great sense of perspective and beautiful color.


Alexey Sapa   {K:27168} 1/26/2004

P. Fitz   {K:1067} 1/31/2004
Hello Hugo

This is a very attractive photograph.
The monochromatice bkue tone is great.
I am a blue fan.
Reminds me of some of the seashell photographs of I seen, where the shell has been sawn in half then photographed.
Thank you for viewing my photographs.
I am from the the island of Newfoundland, off the east coast of Canada.
Water, Fog, Sky and Clouds are among my favourite subjects.
So my fondness for blue.

Fitz

Great composition. Love the grainy effects.


Bryan    {K:232} 2/1/2004
This is a great photo, a creative gyre. And it especially appeals to me, as I really enjoy complex and illusory pictures, bordering on, or seemingly 'impossible' objects.


Dana Shek   {K:1649} 2/1/2004
Hi Hugo,
Wow, amazing blue tones and great sense of depth. The more I look at this image the further I fall....like Alice in Wonderland.

Roger Williams   {K:83282} 2/21/2004
I came to say "thank youf" for your encouraging comments but I stayed to worship with all the others at this beautiful photograph! So simple in idea, so perfect in execution. So creative (blue? Tri-X?? who would have thought of it). Only one complaint. You kept us waiting a bit too long... [grin] When they start "standings" again this is bound to be well up near the top WHATEVER cateogry it is put into! I am delighted that someone so gifted can find something to enjoy in my own photographs...


Richard Thornton   {K:26442} 2/22/2004
