Fixing to se-submit this one.. the perspective is off.. and need to decide about the bottom. If I can remove the horizontal rail, I will (sometimes LR is a pain). That way I can keep the size.. cropping you loose so much data. Say tuned.

Thanks JayneBug!!! Always appreciate your comments. Seems perspective perfection is over come by the other attributes of the shot...we are our own hardest critic.. wink

Thanks so much Aeri for taking the time to make such a nice compliment. I did a re-do after posting because my perspective was off by a tad... however, this version was already seen and commented.. so it stands..and still loved by many. Happy shooting!!

Location
I traveled to Florence, Italy Spring of 2018. This shot is inside the Duomo. The staircase leads up to the rooftop where one can see magnificent views of all Florence.Time
Our tour was late afternoon. I loved the soft light filtering through the window, lighting the whole stairs.Lighting
It was all natural light flowing in from the stairway window.Equipment
I shot this with my Nikon D5300 & Tamron zoom 18-270mm... no flash...Inspiration
You often only get one opportunity when doing travel photography. To make the shot as distraction free, perfect lighting & composition. This shot had it all!! Rich warmth revealing the depth of history.. wondering about the millions who have climbed these steps over centuries!!Editing
I add a richness in LR and worked on perspective shift. It was off in this shot but it had been posted and received recognition on VB so I left it. I have gone back for a re-do with correct perspective.In my camera bag
Camera, zoom, macro, cleaning cloth, extra battery & extra cards...for travel when you shoot for 16 hours in a day people and places you will most likely never see again.. except these shots..Feedback
If it is a one time.. make sure your prepared for many many shots in a day, extra battery. Work with natural light whenever you have the opportunity!
