Ah the magic of Gaudi, the man is perhaps the most creative and innovative architect in modern history. |

Nicely framed it kind of makes the stairs look like a snail. |

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1113 images, I gave 92 of them an 8. Your image was one of those 92, placing you well within the top 10% for this challenge.
This looks like a snail! I love the textures and almost powdery feel of the stone. Nice muted colour palatte but nicely saturated. Perfect focal point and depth of field. Good vision.
Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge. |

Great shot, I like the lighting, the abstract nature of this. |

So interesting and organic. I feel it could have done with even bigger depth of field, the centre seems to go into a blur rather than infinity |

This is one of my top 4 images (which all received 10s) in this challenge. I love the way it looks so organic. I actually thought it was a shell when I saw the thumbnail (which I saw first), but this is so much better than the shell would have been. Anyone can shoot a shell, but you saw it in the staircase and processed it masterfully. I love the DOF, too. Well done! |

I like the way this mimics an ammonite, even down to the segmentation. I think it could look a little better with some levels / curves manipulation; I suspect there is some detail that could be recovered from the highlights and shadows.
Nice though. 6. |

bold perspective, a little too much contrast. Recommend to lighten the dark shadows slightly, 6 |

Voted earlier coming back to vote now. Wow, this looks more like the curl of a nautalus shell then a stone stairway! Angle, how you composed the shot, and lighting help greatly with creating this illusion. The eye really follows the curve/curl down. There is lots of interesting textures carved into the stone or the 'pores' in the stone and well as the curved shapes to hold the eye's attention. |

This is intriguing in that I wonder how many floors it descends(or ascends) |

Great eye, and great use of shadows. I love how the spiral draws the eye down the core, and the straight lines of the stairs curl around it. |

The thumbnail makes it looks like some sort of nautilus or shell or whatever.. Its cool to see that its a narrow stairway. |
