Penelope, this is a curiosity as it's not easy to immediately get a point of reference. It looks as if he's heading towards a wall. I like the spindles of the stair case. A very sensual shape. Well captured!

Penelope, I like how you saw this scene...well composed/cropped too. I especially like the dual perspective here...both the distorted view reflected in the mirror...and also the "view" from behind the observer in the scene. Nice photo. MFC

What a wonderful way to capture this staircase! I also like the man looking at it. Helen

Neat idea - I love the distorted view of the stairs in the mirrow and I love the look of that light-colored wood!

What a novel way to shoot this staircase, Penelope. The lighting is also very good.---Deb
