Support Looking up from the bottom of the double spiral staircase designed by Giuseppe Momo for the Vatican Museums. A companion to my other picture of this staircase, taken from above. -- Colin (talk) 22:57, 10 February 2013 (UTC)- Support --The High Fin Sperm Whale 00:04, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Oppose Nice but unfortunately blurred at top and left parts. --Selbymay (talk) 08:14, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- If you look at the other photograph (from above) at the centre of the bottom of the staircase is some kind of sculpture/vase thing. It gets in the way of taking a symmetrically-centred photograph from below. I had to hand-hold my camera above my head -- tripods are forbidden. The low light meant a slow shutter of 1/8s. I think the small amount of blur in a couple of areas isn't distracting and only noticable when pixel-peeping at 100%. Colin (talk) 10:30, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, I know the place and the difficulty. Sure, it's a good picture but imho the blur is still too noticeable for FP. --Selbymay (talk) 13:09, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- Well you're entitled to that opinion :-) In my defence may I point out the composition arrangement: the centred rooflight is absolutely aligned vertically/horizontally and the spiral that starts at the bottom-left kisses the left and top edges before heading inwards. The intricate relief detail contrasts with the gently lit curved ceilings. The man on the stairs lookup up at the skylight adds interest and gives scale. And the interior is well exposed (too easy to underexpose this shot). The closest I've seen on the internet is this (which has the sculpture/vase) or this (which has one less turn because they didn't have my fisheye). So I'd like folk to consider those attributes of this unique image against any little defects. :-) Colin (talk) 13:51, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Neutral nice shot, but I dislike the crop and the person in the right --Slick (talk) 06:57, 12 February 2013 (UTC)- Support — Hawk-Eye (talk) 06:59, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
