breathtaking, yes. It's beautiful, tara. I too had to look for a minute to figure out what I was looking at: I know you told us, but the abstract quality of the image takes over immediately, and then the stairwell begins to emerge. It emerges slowly, and it's wonderful to suddenly "find" it. I didn't even recognize the human until after a few minutes (and Ana helped me see that, in her comment). Your title has a double meaning: The woman descending is wearing a big billowy skirt (or bottom half of a dress), and that could be the hoop skirt. But the stairs themselves are the real hoop skirt, winnowing their way down the way they do...it's beautiful, tara, soaked in that light you've used for years---brownish reds and deep blacks with lots of chiaroscuro. And a sense of winding down into light, which you've highlighted in white highlights on the bottom stairs...And that woman transforms the whole image---terrific touch of intuition! I'll never know how you got her at just that moment. Beautiful, and thank you, and for all your support all these years incl helping me become a better artist and a photographer, it's a beautiful gift and I'm very grateful: thank you so much, I love it. (And you have a 5000 ISO: You got a very smooth, velvety feel for that ISO. You work with low light beautifully.)
