Excellent, as usual. The only thing I would suggest is to perhaps consider a tiny crop on the top (and maybe even bottom for balance): I don't know if this is only me, but my eye follows the handrail down and then at some point tries to "jump" over the wall through that little "crack", wondering what is behind.

Very cool. So well juxtaposed, the red, the cool black- blues and grays- beautiful.
As to cropping, we as viewers may see things in a certain way and decide a crop is warranted, but in this case, I think your shot is well balanced and a crop a just a matter of taste.

That is pretty cool. I like the angle.

This is extremely well done. JIMBO

Great shot. Enhances the vertigo experience. I had to hold onto my desk for a moment after viewing. LOL.

This curve is really special. A lot of unexpected twist in the red rail. Great spotting this view!

Thanks for the kind comments everyone.
I actually had to momentarily think when using the curvy handrails.

Great abstract natured image, I agree with Ivan about cropping a bit at least to experiment.. on the other hand the crack forms a nice Z-like form there, go figure..
