Great entries all!

Ok.... Sorry for the delay. After looking at the photos many times....
The winner is......
DarkSlide with "Going up, and up, and up!"

I really like the B&W treatment and consistent repetition of the windows. Cropping to avoid the bare top right corner would make it even stronger.

Honorable mention to:
David Morel - really like the subject and classic use of rule of thirds. The bare bottom left corner and top right corner detract from the otherwise cool shot.

Darrell M. - I like this shot as well. It has a well placed sweet spot and B&W treatment. A higher angle on the spiral would strengthen the shot.

I would love to give each of you comments but time this weekend is limited. If there is time later this weekend I will add comments. Thank you all for participating and please continue to enter these challenges. I am just one judge of many and the competition is tough.
Sincerely,
Joby Brunjes

Thanks jbrunjes! Yes, huge turnout for this challenge, and all very good!

Now, I just need to come up with the next challenge.

I'll have something posted by tomorrow - Sunday.
