That moving up into the light is like an Easter shot. It's amazing how light so often dominates darkness, such that we miss what is there. 6 Apr 2009 2:51pm Ajay from Pune, IndiaWhat a superb presentation of the another aspect of city life. I simply the perspective here. 6 Apr 2009 2:58pm Tracey from Maryland, United StatesWhat I imagine heading in to unconsciousness must feel like. Great job taking me there. 6 Apr 2009 3:07pm Pavan Kaul from Mumbai, IndiaWow! '...what you have... and... what you have not..' Wonderfully composed, the people filling one side of the frame and the empty other side! Superbly evocative! 6 Apr 2009 3:16pm Nicolas from Paris, FranceNice mood. I worked days ago on an elevator too : http://blog.nicolas-beaumont.fr/dotclear/index.php?2009/01/27/312-et-ca-continue 6 Apr 2009 3:26pm Don from spokane, United StatesThe stark graphic quality of this garish light makes this shot have a great deal of impact. The silhouetted people enable the picture to work so well. Fine image. 6 Apr 2009 3:29pm Andy from United StatesLove the darkness with the light shining down from the top. Its like an escalator to heaven! 6 Apr 2009 4:33pm Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, CanadaThat Epicurus was one smart fellow.

Wonderful capture. I've been browsing through some of your photos today and I'm impressed. You've got a lot of really great images here. 6 Apr 2009 8:36pm Ilan from IsraelI'm not sure if it's optimistic or morbid photo. 6 Apr 2009 8:39pm paulski from Muncie, IN, United Statesnicely shot; i like the washed-out void at the top of the escalator; to me it seems quite optimistic...excellent! 6 Apr 2009 8:59pm observing from North West, United KingdomI think the with the intense light, this has to be the stairway to Heaven. Cool shot. 6 Apr 2009 9:15pm Polydactyle from Montreal, CanadaThe light at the end of the tunnel ... for the best but perhaps also for worse! 6 Apr 2009 9:55pm Nataly from Santa Monica, United StatesEscaping into the light... So.. if I desire what I don`t have right now, it my be around later. That means never stop hoping and desiring, right? That means it`s not a spoil. Well, you see, some blame me for never being satisfied and always wanting more, but that is the only way to have more... Love the contrast here, Sharon! 6 Apr 2009 11:53pm DarkElf from Perth, Australiafantastic composition, light and perspective! great tonal range and contrast suit this perfectly in b&w! 7 Apr 2009 1:59am Ivar from Indianapolis, United StatesGreat atmpsphere, the eyes being leaded into the light.
