Default Red Edged Ramps

Whist in Dubrovnik on holiday, I found this side street whilst on the City wall. The red edges to the ramps stood out at the time, but not so much upon review... But I wanted to do something with this image, so B&W treatment, D&B and masked to bring through the red edges of the ramps...

The weather wasnt the best that day, the colour version is a little dull...

These ramps are unusual and I guess must be a convenience thing for hand carts and such.
I think this is a great picture enhanced by the b/w showing some of the history of this old walled city with the narrow paved back streets contrasting with the satellite dish on a building at the top of the image

Your image is full of lines and patterns that are interesting and delightful. Very enjoyable!

Th first thing I saw was the dark ramp in the foreground then my eyes were guided by the ramps throughout the picture. Very nice!

Nice shot Gary, love the technique of bringing through the red stripes.

Wow, this is a brilliant photo. There is so much to see in it, I can't keep my eyes still. And the lines really are great!
