This was taken at cosy bay (by Kallang river). My friend was right about photographers having something for spiral stairways. Anyway, i hope more critique can be given on this one because it was not good enough for the CS people to comment (most chose to ignore this piece of junk). WOuld like to hear your views.
This seems like one interesting spiral stairways - the railings and steps seems disjointed from each other.
While it does draw one's attention towards the circle, nothing of significant interest could be found there to keep the viewer's interests. The thing on the right kinda competes with the flow of the composition IMO.
I can't really make out this staircase, though. Looks really intriguing, or perhaps I really need to go to this cosy bay place.
I actually like it because of the chaos.. It's very interesting coz it's very hard to make out the staircase. I guessed you'd taken it from bottom up (which I was right, from your title! Yippie).
Every picture has a flaw (in every individuals' eyes), and the flaw in this picture I think it that the eye of the circle is located on the left side of the picture, leaving a rather big portion of uninterestin detail on the right side. And no, the ventilator thingy doesn't count as something interesting to me.. :P
One suggestion, try taking the picture with someone standing on the stairs (on right side of photo) looking down. Totally different feel, I know.. but I think it might produce an interesting result too..
I'm only writing long coz you specifically stressed the comments bit, but actually I do like this picture. Won't stare at it too long though, least it confuses my brain for Maths later..
joel: wah... thanks for the comments. =) wont take it with someone standing there (not a gal wearing skirt...nonono) This was taken just before they close so no one was using the stairway. btw anyone thinks that the centre of the spiral actually looks like a lime?
wont take it with someone standing there (not a gal wearing skirt...nonono) Haha.. good point, though I was thinking more in terms of a person leaning over, so can only see upper body.
Hmm, now that I think about it, it'd be better if the right side weren't distracting (as opposed to what i said earlier). If the right side of the pic were kept simple, that'd be nice. And the concrete slab is annoying, I keep wondering how the pic would look like without it being there.
Okay, this is probably officially your longest comment.. yet!
* Still figuring out what else to add to my half-filled help sheet
Good perspective jcyrhs! I have visited the area before and I must admit, have a jacket ready if you are there late! Forget about whether if the CS people give you any feedback or not... Just because they don't comment doesn't mean you're not good enough :) The Cosy Bay area has lots of potential for photography... my personal favourite is still this particular shot :)
Saw this photo yesterday actually before my eg revision. But decided to do some justice to do by not writing comments hastily.
It's a nice photo. Like some kind of abstract point of view. Like cycles...circles of life...where people just go on revolving about the things they deem important throughout their lives...and finally after all the hard work they arrive at the end point (the "lime" like thing..the brightest spot in the photo)...
I can't tell what it conveys. But sumhow it gives me a feeling...a kind of emotion that I can't explain...:)

j: you should visit this place...with ron actually. It's really nice but please bring jacket if you're going late.

nice shot. I like the symmetry. The staircase isn't uniformly circular, the right half is like a broken off circle.
It does draw your eye to the lime at the far end.
do you have like a propah name? typing out jcyrhs each time to address you is a bit tedious.
ashwin: haha, you can call me yiren. tks for your comments. tks
mmm. another interesting spiral stairs to take will be mod living. nice shot anyway. do u spot a fruit in the picture?
ros: obviously you didn't read through the comments...muaha..haha..hhaaa.hhahahaa
ooops hahaa yah i din lei sooo long. i just see and comment. oops. i'll read i'll read.
