Success

The ladder of success was not crowded at the top. Did I set it against the right building?

Taken for active assignment weekly - motivational posters

What it took:
The ladder was set on the roof of an adjacent apartment. I would have liked the ladder to run from corner to corner, but this was the only angle i got.
Pushing the saturation and vignetting in gimp

I just LOVE this photo! Wow! You captured the ladder so well contrasted against the blue wall. I think the angle is just right. If it was too angled it would look staged. Great job! I also like the saying you put with the photo. Good question to ask.

Love the photo. Great question as well. Sometimes the ladder isn't crowded when you choose the 'right' building as it's likely too hard for more people to climb. Nice work. A strong consideration.

Lots of great entries this week but in terms of photography this one stands out. A perfect example of when less is more. I love the color and contrast. I voted this best of week 3.

Well, I think you knocked this one out of the ballpark young lady. Great job, unique and pleasantly appropriate for us all.

I think it is not crowded because those who reach there always try to get rid of the others over there.....
Wonderful concept, nice soothing colours, perfect position of the ladder(cross ladder wouldn't have looked that good... seriously) and nice framing....
oh... yeah... forgot to say ...nice work with vignetting...
All in all I voted this BestOfWeek5..

simple and effective
as one quote goes
"... framing is not about what you put in, but what you keep out."
BestOfWeek for me
