I can't add anything new. All been said. I agree with others.

I like how the landscape is captured in the reflection, it seems a giant screen. Beautiful contrast between warm and cold lights (colours). endika

Very interesting pattern! Beautifully captured!

From an abstract perspective, I like vertical lines, disrupted by the lit stairwell, at about a third of the frame. The lighting of the building face is nicely contrasted by the lit stairwell.

Brent nailed it - a marvelously schizophrenically lit shot. When worlds converge, there lies Colin.

The stairway is almost in a completely different world - as well as completely different light - interesting convergence of planes nicely protioned into an elegant abstract.

LOL - This is Barclays House in Basingstoke, I'm nore sure if they have run out of money so can't afford new light bulbs or if these were photosensitive and gradually going off as the day got brighter; I'll have to go back and check when its dark!

Colin - I love architectural detail shots. Great choice in not going to wide on this one, you honed right in on a nice crop of the whole scene. You also did a great job balancing the exposure on the interior and exterior of the building. It also looks like they could use to change a few light bulbs in that stairwell!

The warm light is absolutely wonderful. Well done Colin.

This was worth losing a little sleep over. I love the open (glassed in) staircase, nothing going on in there that the world can't see. I think it's a little scary going down stair cases in buildings sometimes. This is nice!!
