5th Place
Abstract Pathway
by Markjay

This is a unique shot I captured of a the shadow of a banister, "running" down the stairways created by the sun overhead.

One very strange optical illusion I have found is if you scroll the screen slightly up and down while viewing this image, the stairway shadow appears to move when you stare at it!!

Mark, I really like the way you angled and cropped this. Very nice color, clarity, and lighting. Good eye...nice abstract pathway. MFC

Nah, JeffD. Just weirder all the time :-)

Mark, that's a great capture and a spooky optical illusion. Is it possible that you are getting both better at photography and weirder at the same time? ;-) - Jeff D

Great abstract work...I like the choice to orient the stairs at an angle to play the diagonal composition of the shadow.
