At last - Scholars' Stairs, Sighisoara

It's taken over a year, but I finally managed to get this looking the way I wanted it to. The shot had to be grabbed quickly (although it's an eight second exposure) because there was only a brief break between people walking up and down the stairs. The sun's rays were the easiest part to retain, the most difficult was the view through the door, which still isn't perfect (I'd like to have some texture in the snow) but is as good as it's going to get. Had I thought about it at the time, I'd have taken a second exposure for the snow and layered it in to retain the texture. Nonetheless, here it is - fifteen months after I pushed the buttoned.
