That this was done without out cropping is a testiment to your skill and dedication. Wonderful. Dale

Neat shot - I love the perspective and the lines and curves!

Thanks, everybody, for the kind comments. This actually is a very long escalator, and I had to go up it several times to capture what I was looking for since everytime I did, it seemed that something was going wrong with exposure or sometthing else. Must have been camera fatigue after trying to photo into the museum window earlier ;-). Helen

I like all the lines and shapes in this image and the perspective is just wonderful! Beautiful color and a great entry for the challenge Helen.

Cool perspective you have found, Helen. I love the rounded ceiling in contrast to the lines of the elevator. And the lights on the left of the elevator break the summetry to make it more interesting. Also the black, white, blue is working excellent together.

Wonderful image, Helen. Fabulous lines and angles along with the moving staircase. Great color!

Helen, an impressive capture. I almost have the feeling of vertigo when I look up those long stairs. Terrific photo!
