This was also taken in Nijmegen. I have to admit, it was so boring unedited. :faint: Very boring. But I somehow like the edited version.

The mood in the two shots is entirely different!
Without seeing the unedited photo, I would say this one is excellent in the way the image
goes with the title, but now that I see the "boring" one, the title takes on more meaning
and it is a little ambiguous to me whether you edited the photo just for its visual qualities
(contrast, lighting) or whether you did it to make it work better with what you intended the
title to mean.

The COMPOSITION of the photo makes it look like the title is a commentary on the fact that
there is "nothing" at the top of the stairs, which look sort of like they should lead to an
altar. The stump at the top is depressing, but that's contrasted with the light through the
trees, which suggests optimism. The ambiguity in the theme of the photo is fine this way.

Perhaps a compromise between the two shots to keep the margins a bit drabber than the
center?
:clap:
