I posted the less dramatic version of this pic for about 1 day. So far, it seems to be acceptable, may be even "better" than this version. But, after consideration, I think I would give respect to my "idea", granted my lack of skill might have made the pic appear more drastic. I have therefore removed the other pic. Again, thank you for your comments.
Thank you for your comments. Heart-felt thanks. Firstly, the walls seem vertical (within slight variations), but the Christmas decorations are more slanted. There seems to be a discrepancy here. OK. My idea was to make the corners of the steps converge towards the viewers. This might have induced the slant. I agree that the picture looks over-processed. Wow. Yes - overcooked all right. I did "try" to make the texture of the stair stand out. It seems that I have also over-cooked the 2 tourists sitting there. Sorry. Singapore cooking not so good. My skill is limited. I will re-cook it. Might be under-cooked instead!! I'll submit the newly cooked picture, and decide which of the 2 to wihdraw. Many thanks for your helpful comments.
