Description

In Rome you can found this kind of thinks, incredible thinks.

This photo was took in the Vatican Museum, the light was weak but I put an ISO800 and took the photo trying to give expression to reflect the movement.

More info:

"This magnificent spiral ramp, designed by Giuseppe Momo in 1932, transports you from the street level up to the floor of the Museums.
The ramp consists of two intertwined spirals; one leads up and another leads down."

The first few minutes of any critique, I look at the composition of the image.

What works?
How is the eye drawn to the image?
How was the image shot?

The first thing I notice is the architecture of the staircase. It plays games with the eye in ways that you might find in a book on optical illusions.
The statue and the base of the spiral could be seen as an anchor that the eye is drawn into.
Now comes the technical aspect of the critique and one phrase sums it up.
Excellent.
You say that you are using a 10-22mm EFs Canon wide angle lens and that is certainly key to getting any architectural shots like this one. I might aim for wider view - maybe backing the camera up a bit further back. You've tried your best to fit everything into the frame you could and it works well. The saturation and tonal values expressed in this B&W image are remarkable.

Good work!
