Very cool! Love the coloring and shadows! #10132338Mitch Spence May 10, 2012
Excellent impressionism, Usman, with more than a touch of mystery. #10132420Chris Budny May 11, 2012
I love this image, Usman! The stairs themselves are terrific, with no risers to support them; the balusters are beautifully carved; the light from the side is terrific for those diagonal shadows opposed to the railing's diagonal; the figure in motion, with slight blur at their feet is perfect. I hope this wins a medal! #10133418Julianne Bradford May 11, 2012
