Critique by ~LeMatos Nov 16, 2012, 3:14:07 AM

This is a fine piece of photography. Minimal in its construction and geometrical oriented.

Pros : the composition is well balanced, bringing an odd (mathematicaly) symetry (left stairs/right stairs) ; the contrast is very good and the deep (especialy in the shadows) and the texture of the back wall is intense ; the two yellow bands bring some internal boundaries.

Cons : I guess the picture was not taken 100% parallel to the back wall (view turned to the left), leading to a slight perspective impression that leaves me a small regret ; the time of the day might be a little too early/late : I think a bit longer shadows might add even more depth to the picture (especialy on the right stairs where they're absent), also the left hand yellow band is a bit in a highlight at the end, I think a more uniform lighting (like the right-hand one) would leave a better aesthetic.

What do you think?

^{A dynamic and vibrant abstraction! The splash of yellow against the neutral tones completes the scene.}

Thank you very much, Darren. It's one of those snapshots that turned out better than expected. It was so incredibly hot that day that I was just hurrying up to get into the next air conditioned building (a very fine museum of contemporary art), but I dared stopping for a few seconds and took this shot before the soles of my shoes began to melt away.

^arctoa Jan 17, 2013 Student Photographer

^{Hah! Yes, now that you mention it there's something about the quality of sunlight captured (or processed) which subtly hints towards some sort of great heat. I commend you for having the courage to step out into that sort of weather; I wouldn't have left the safety of a cool place to start with!}

Well, I had to step out in the heat...you know, like "I have paid for this journey and I won't allow the weather keeping me from having a good time." And it was worth it, these are the steps to the entrance of the mumok where I took two of my personal favourite shots of 2012: [link] & [link]

Also, the museum was air conditioned.
