Absolutely gorgeous (and perfectly timed). Cream tone again?

Thanks, Pete. Yes,...creamtone again. And a bit of luminance tossed in.

 

[Pete Askew]

it has a very nice softness to it that suits the movement of the figures.

 

[Peter McCullough]

wOw Brian, excellent photography, beautiful and subtle.

Only a suggestion, what about ever so slightly cropping the left hand side a tiny bit as there's a black mark about half way down just peeping into the image..(?)

Thanks for the suggestion about the mark on the left. I'll clone that away. Appreciated!

Liking the chaos of the stairs, and the excellent framing of the man climbing them - nicely done sir

 

[Lesley Jones]

It's a huge wow from me too! I love the creamy tones. It almost makes it look like marble

Thank you, Lesley. Now that you mention it, it does look like marble in the picture. Its probably travertine, though. The whole complex (and it is substantial) is finished in travertine, which makes for an impressive sight when you see the Getty buildings on hill above Los Angeles on a sunny afternoon. Anyway, thanks again, Lesley.

love the diagonal curves and layers in the comp. the tones are beautiful, soft, creamy tones are always a great way to go.

Thank you, Beth. I am slowly realizing the niceness of the creamy tones.
