Hello from Critique Club ;)

First of, this photo doesn't deserve 1s or 2s or 3s... I would start voting from 5 and up but there are many people here in DPC that doesn't understand photography/art unfortunately.

(Composition) I am not sure I would go with that border; I probably would keep it darker border, or no border. I like the composition, I am not too sure about having the stairs right on the middle of the frame, but it is not bad at all. The stuff on the right bottom takes my attention a little. (Technical) It is sharp, nice exposed photo. There is a story here but you didn't give much to make it clear. For example, if someone is sitting under the stairs, in the dark, you would get 6+, or a cat going down the stairs, even though doesn't match with your title. Something other than emptiness could make it much more story teller... I think you got 5+ instead of 6+ because lack of story here.

I checked your photos. You are doing well, and need some more practice. Don't get me wrong though, I am not saying you are not good, but if you want to get better votes in DPC, you must study the winners of previous challenges, you'll do better :)

Good luck

Well done. Love the diagonal line and rich tones. Under rated in my opinion.
