Fantastic photos. Congrats to everyone. The last image just makes me wanna get up there and see what’s inside. Excellent.

#9 my vote. Its life

#2 Very nice photo, reminds me of Escher's stairs.

I selected No. 9 because it is the only one that has some real human interest, that is, it depicts real stairs (actually steps) that are actually being used by humans, the two kids. So many of the other entries are photo-shopped fakes and do not depict real stairs. This is a photo contest, not a contest to see who is the most adept at using Photo Shop, or other post-processing software.

Amazing photographs!

To me it looks like much of the creativity here is in seeing and capturing the images - two of the key talents of good photographers.

Very good pictures and the choice is difficult! Almost all of them have something special, just different. My vote is for #2.

5 is my choice this month. (1 couldn't find a poll, but am on mobile right now, so?)
It was very close, For me, the colors and framing of 1 (I wish the top curve had a bit more space above it), 4 for the use of curves and straight lines, 5 for the same reason, cant say why exactly between the two. and 6 really caught my eye, I like the visual doorway to nowhere vibe with it too. These are all superb, just my thoughts after a quick look thorough. Well done, really nice shots!

I filled it out on mobile, the poll is at the top of the thread on mobile.

#2 I feel sorry for the pizza delivery guy in this one! But a great shot!!

I like the enigmatic mystery of the departing person of number three. A difficult choice given the quality of the submitted images.

[Norberto]

Very good pictures all of them. Not easy to pick a winner, but I have done my duty...

I wanted to vote for a picture of the current contest, but I received the following answer:


"Only users who registered prior to the announcement of the current photo contest are eligible to vote. Please check back next month."

I did register prior to the announcement. Last month I received the same message, when I tried to vote for the wide angle shots...

Does anyone know, what to do?

Greetings

Myself, I felt #8 & 9 were the best here. It was a tough choice, but In the end, I voted for #8 because it represented two forms of the subject matter, the Stair Case itself, combined with the Cats Stare. Very original thinking. I found the rest to be the typical staircase shots taken by just about everyone with a decent camera rig.

Photograph #9 looks good - it has the feel of a Henri Cartier-Bresson decisive moment.

Such beautiful entries, hard to make a choice

The only image that focuses on stairs and not stair cases is number 8 -
