Greetings from the Critique Club. This image is well composed and has an attractive graphic look, however the light is a bit bright on the leading edges of the stairs and the image has a flat look. I belive you could improve this shot quite a bit by adding more contrast and correcting curves or levels as needed.

An idea for an alternate shot in this location (not for this challenge obviously) - one flower or other bright colored object set on one of the bricks. :)

These comments are meant to be helpful, I hope you find them so.

Good luck
Cindi

Great texture and lines. Very abstract. Excellent!

Nice job on an interesting presentation of an ordinary object. Great lines in the composition. The duotone here works well for the image IMO. Maybe just a matter of taste, but I'm wondering if a little levels tweaking, making the darks a little stronger could increase the tonal range, and make for a little bit stronger image. Nice shot.

High contrast would have looked well here.
