This is very cool, Jeffrey. Great abstract patterns and excellent tones.

As Harley says: "excellent tones." I agree and also like how shapr it is. Did you have to clean it a bit? I would expect to see something on the steps (gum, etc)?

I like the abstract quality of this and the off-kilter handrail. Could see maybe composing this with a bit more diagonal in the railing. Regardless, it definitely pulls the eye through the image.

Thanks for the kind comments. A couple things.
Yes, I did cleanup some crap in this scene. The graphic nature of what I was after would not tolerate these distractions
Tony, I thought about all that. Trying to place the handrail more 'interestingly' would have forced me in a position where I couldn't maintain the step's horizontal nature, and that was more important to me. If I had more time there I probably could have made it work. I was on a mission with the wife and only had a few moments to expose this.
