Excellent! The lines are perfect, did you have to wait long at this location for the scene to come together? It does really work, well done!

@Hans ter Horst: Thank you. Well....I was waiting for someone to either walk or sit on the stairs, but when this guy on the bike came along I thought maybe this was even better. There is always a flurry of activity in this area, so not long of a wait.
Very eye catching, with all these lines.
Well done !

What a startling visual statement this makes . . and those Turks sure knew a thing or two about the ups and downs . .

To find balance in between the lines, that is so cleverly illustrated, ups & downs make the same single way, love that and your superb frame.

Such an excellent study in light and shape and form and shadow. Terrific !!!

Fantastic. Excellent framing, use of repetition, and placement of the main subject. Black and white is perfect for this.

A perfectly cool composition. Excellent work.

"Well I've been the whole world 'round / I've been up and I've been down / I've been good and I've been bad / Mostly I've been bad / I've had an excellent time so far / There's only one thing that I fear / I've been up so long on this lucky star / It could be all downhill from here" (Lyle Lovett)
What can I say, Sharon? This is just excellent. Most excellent! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.
