        Stairway to Heaven 500×688 ST.JPG by Barbara Searle on Light Stalking

        Lol – not sure about ‘Heaven but taken on a misty morn with my little Pentax Optio (before I bought my DSLR!) a couple of years back
        Exif: Prob on ‘Auto’ = f/3.8 – 1/160sec – ISO 64 – max ap 2.8.
        I hate Urban but have got to like it because it’s All urban junk & clutter where I live! The Mist hid all the metal clutter everywhere… Hope this opens up ok as it’s 500 shortest x 688 longest!
        (Is there an easier way of adding the image info that you upload to your album – in with the code that you upload to the Forum without going back and forth between both whilst cutting and pasting? ) Thanks! 🙂

          @photojunkie Will be working on that suggestion after we launch the redesign. It’s on the list!

          As for the photo, the fact that those verticals on the right are so close to the border draws my eye to the fact that they are not perfectly vertical. 😉

            I do like the photo. The foggy background emphasizes well the architecture of the staircase. I would suggest first as admin mentioned to make sure your staircase is leveled, which it is not right now. I would also crop out the lower portion of the building and some foreground. I would increase contrast and turn the picture into a B&W to de-emphasize the red brick building which is not the center of interest but draws the eyes because of its color.

            Voilà!

              Hi! – Apologies – just seen this! (still finding my way around!) Thank you so much for your kind comments! – I will give it a go with the crop and verticals ( I have free version of PSE8 which is still a mystery to me – and will prob need to check out how to do it on You Tub first !) – and… will repost the edit? 🙂 All the Best!
