Stairway To Heaven, a photo from Ankara, Central Anatolia

Photographer's Note

Theres a lady whos sure
All that glitters is gold
And shes buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
She s buying a stairway to heaven.

Theres a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
Theres a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Theres a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.

Hi Cigdem... Splendid idea, a portrait of loneliness, with simple but quite graphic a meaningfull lines and graphism... The light works great giving mistery or a touch of mirror where we all can recognize... Take care.

There walks a lady we all know,
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold...

Selam sevgili Çiğdem,
Mükemmel bir bakış açısı yakalmışsın ! Benim gibi bir siyah beyaz sevdalısı için (aslında siyah beyaz değil tam, basamakların pas rengi dikkatli bakılınca görülüyor) çok keyifli bir çalışma bu.
Hem bakış açısı, hem jadrajı, hem de grafik ögesi ile çok başarılı.
Tebrikler
Selam ve sevgiler

Fantastic one with silhouettes while your model is climbing steps. Vertical frame worked perfectly and I liked your clever layout of stairway for excellent balance. Congratulations. Have a nice new week.

Offf ooofff ben neden böyle fotoğraflar çekemiyorum ki??? :(((
Çok çok güzel olmuş Çiğdem, basamaklarda ara ara gözüken kahverengimsi-bordomsu renkler, beyaz arkafonda silüet, grafik, sağ alt köşede adını yazarken kullandığın karakter bile o kadar güzel olmuş ki...
Tebrixxx :)

carlo62 (81265) 2012-09-24 13:55

Ciao Cigdem
stavo guardando la tua galleria e devo dire che hai tante belle foto, ma questa ha attirato la mia attenzione, la semplicità dell'inquadratura, il grafismo delle linee, il B&W e la preziosa presenza, ne fanno un'immagine che attira l'attenzione e che si lascia guardare piacevolmente.
Complimenti
Carlo

TopGeo (38220) 2012-09-24 14:33

Hello Cigdem! That´s really very much artistical, shot original and beautiful a beautiful photo with splendid details, grear clarity and B&W, splendid idea vertical frame,Excellent song Bravo
Best regards
Geo...

avigur_11 (22553) 2012-10-03 23:42

Almost everything is already said, and I say - Incredible shot, and a very clever crop.

wbrandon76 (26) 2012-10-10 7:27

Very different feel, but i like the abstract feel. The lines, steps and a people going up the stairs, really enhance the feel.

In-additional, it portrait how to break away from rule of third..

Thank you for sharing.

Cheers
Brandon
