Corporate Ladder

[Barefoot]

[QuietOne]

With the doorways not only shut but bricked up. This must be for those who aren't part of the inner circle. Seriously, though, I can't quite decide what I think about it. The bottom part is a little distracting - seems if I scroll so only the top couple layers show it helps.

Awesome title, and capture BF. Seems after years climbing the corporate ladder, that it was not "all that" at the top after-all.

Very strong image BF - I like it a lot.
I have a suggestion on this - let me know if you'd like me to make it.

I 'preciate it, guys. Quite honestly, Marko, I'd be very disappointed if you didn't.

Ok then - Like Quiet one - I find the bottom part is commanding too much attention due to the brightness. Because of this, this would have been perfect for HDR.

But as it is, for me, 2 options would make this stronger.
1 - Try to burn in the white meat or cheat the white meat if it's too blown. You can cheat the white meat by using the blending setting overlay on a colour that's close to other (lighter)colours around the blown zone. In this case, perhaps gold or beige.
2 - Crop the blown zone out. The shot still works for me without the bottom thanks to the very strong diagonal ladder.
Hope that may help.

Brilliant title for an excellent shot. If the shadow had the same angle as the ladder that would have been even better ... but we all know that time is a fickle thing. Very strong image and the title is just brilliant .. but I said this before
