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.

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.

Yup...
I voted this "BestOfWeek#1" (from Active Assignment Weekly group).

I really like the color, nothing around here is painted bright basic colors like that around here :(
gehmflor (72 months ago | reply)
So, time to vote: I voted this "BestOfWeek2" (from Active Assignment Weekly group) for being...well...SIMPLY SUCCESSFUL!
(By the way, I love the ladder itself! Very unique!)

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 voted this BestOfWeek#4 from (Active Assignment Weekly group.)
wild locks (72 months ago | reply)
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

Ditto, every good thing said above! Not sure where I will use this, but it will definitely be an illustration for one of the articles on my ADD-focused Brain-based Coaching blogsite. I'll be back to ask about attribution and how you'd like it linked when that happens.
@Ace Reporter: I'm definitely checking out your post - your title's a mantra in the ADD coaching field!
@wildlocks: I think the top of the success ladder's not crowded for a LOT of reasons, but if/when those who make it to the top are too few due to something THEY are responsible for, for most I believe it is an error of omission.
IMHO, we *all* need to make SURE we remember to climb with one hand reaching up for support and one hand reaching down TO support.
NOBODY *really* makes it alone!
