Thanks a lot for the exactly as energizing comment, Ian!
I think that I should start some new series with similar framings but it is yet not very clear to me, what situations/scenes could be good candidates for that. I assume that some similar light source would be necessary but I don't know if this would be also sufficient. So the only thing that I can do for the time being is trying things out and hoping for the best.
Cheers,
Nick

So let me see what effects such similarly partial taken "linear" objects may have on the edges of photos... We have so many railings here ;-)

Quite a detached strict framing and yet completely ennergises the people in it terrific

Well, Avi, that hadrail seems to have what it gets, as it is the intersection of the numerous three comments about the image. ;-)
Could it be that such things act much like implicit leading lines? Like seemless hints toward the overall perspective?
Thanks a lot for the nice comment!

Spialberg? Aaaarrrgh! You just killed me! Anything else but please not that mainstream puppet that gave us "ET" and "Close encounters" and other stupid movies about sweeeeeet kids in interplanetary isolation with "ooohhh so much of "feelings" without a single reference to the important.
Please Debra, couldn't that be Kubrick or something? ;-) At least such people like him dared ask questions without giving us the quick and easy answers that the zero knowledge about space seems to demand eagerly.
OK, OK, I calm down again, and say thanks a lot for the comment, which I take as a compliment in the absence of better knowledge.
Cheers,
Nick

Many many thanks for the detailed superb comment, Visar! Indeed there is duality and also hesitation (of the photographer too ;-)) on this one.
Considering now the situation of that time, it was something like wondering what yould be the next step, since I was about to leave my job behind and go for something else. Perhaps this played a bigger role than I could even think of at those times. I assume some kind of heavens and hell and no decision possible, or something like that.
The stair fence, so I thought, would be enhancing the overall skew design in its direction and perspective. Sometimes such "linear" objects are good for putting additional implicit leading lines on the image.
Thanks again and all the best,
Nick

Love the way you included the handrail in the shot... also the angle makes the view very different and interesting.. good work !

For me this could be a still from a Spielberg movie... it has a sci-fi feel to it. Great choice to angle the image and include the metal piece in the foreground. Love it. Debra

Hey Nick,
the perspective in this shot is quite intriguing, that's for the mere fact of that glittering light comming from the end of the tunnel and it might symbolise a lot... like, let's say comming from some heavenly ambient into purgatory- and the man standing there, as if not willing to make another step ahead, as if seeing what lies ahead, compliments this 'idea'... but of course there might be more interpretation to that, but still something on dualism, like right to left, dark to light, jin jang...
as for the composition, i do not have what to say, it is outstanding- radical compliance to the rules of the thirds; and the stair fence on the lower right balances it so well, hence a unique composition.
cheers,
v.
