Thanks Vicki,
The back window was the problem – used my spot-meter and place it on zone VIII / IX which the D800 is quite happy with. Then hoped that I could control the shadows in processing.
Ho & used a hand-held meter (1deg) the camera meter spot function is a little wide so less control. All the lighting was coming from above.
Sorry – I some times get carried way with my answers should have just said Thanks 🙂
The Labyrinth (1986) “Would he tell me that this door leads to the castle?”
The Goblin King takes Sarah to a stairwell that closely resembles Relativity by M. C. Escher. 🙂

Such an interesting capture of the light in this composition, David.
Love it.

I get carried away with answers too, David, especially on my old blog.
I’m trying to do it less on my new blogs and also not answer every comment either.
Time & energy aren’t what they used to be for me (especially as I have a houseguest at the moment too).
Fantastic image, love the tonal quality
Thanks Karl,
Pleased you liked it; was difficult getting the image looking the same on the screen when comparing it to the print I made.
David.
escher-esque
