    This is a wonderful picture. I like the tones and the shadows. Stairs are great for photos and you captured this perfectly. Well done!

    Excellent contrast, and I love the shadow of the decorative fence.

    Congrats on making the Wall with last week's photo.

    Shadowy indeed. Beautiful contrasts. Looks like a nice place to be too (warm, not like here...;).

    I must have snow on the brain, but it looks like winter [snow] or summer's sand. Beautiful!

    Good comparison of the floating and the fixed, Carver. And wonderful coverage of the scale.

    Beautiful shadows and shapes - and strange to see the bushes with their leaves on against the snow.
