I'd cut it just below the shadows of the railings. That leaves enough floor to ground the staircase and retains all the elements associated with it. Catching the two silhouetted figures where they are was a nice touch, too. The computer art leaves me cold. So much work to so little effect, at least to me. I just don't get it. >I went to MacWorld Expo today in San Francisco. > >I've always like the stairs leading down below grade to the exhibit >areas.
