Re: GESO: Stairwell Revisited

My taste in abstracts runs towards those that are really abstract. In 
that regard I like Stairwell #1 of these the best. Raw and powerful 
geometry, great use of color and shadow.


The problem with being that abstract is that viewers sometimes get hung 
up on guess what the subject matter is.  I think #1 is strong enough on 
just form and geometry to overcome that. Stairwell #8 would be my second 
choice ase an abstracted representation of a recognizable subject.

I agree, Ann, but when I posted the original 3 image gallery, someone
suggested lightening the left side of one of the images, and someone
else suggested trying B  I tried both of these techniques, and
tried to clean up the two best image, which were Stairwell 1 and
Stairwell 3.  Those images retain the same titles in this larger
gallery.

I still like #1 and #3, which show an upwards view and a downwards
view, respectively.

I would like you to compare # 1 and #4, which are the same image, with
the latter having the left side lightened a bit, as was suggested by
Jack Davis.

I think you are overthinking this... 1 and 3 of the original set were 
jsut fine as is... I don't see any reason to clean up the stairs in what 
used to be #1


Getting confused with the numbers I do like the slightly lighter 
abstract one but don't remember if that was how you had it originally...

On my phone, I prefer the second color stair free image. It must have been #3 
in your first post.
