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. Mark On 5/29/2016 1:11 PM, Daniel J.

Re: GESO: Stairwell Revisited
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&W. 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.

Re: GESO: Stairwell Revisited
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... ann On 5/29/2016 1:11 PM, Daniel J.

Re: GESO: Stairwell Revisited
On my phone, I prefer the second color stair free image. It must have been #3 in your first post. J Sent from my iPhone > On May 29, 2016, at 10:11 AM, Daniel J.
