First Impression:
A nice shot, but it feels a little strained.
Focus/DoF:
Seems spot on. I would have gone for a smaller aperture, but it doesn't bother me that it's not sharp in the foreground and background.
Colour:
Feels to me as though it could do with a little more punch, but it is quite calm the way it is, and I am assuming that was the look you were going for.
Composition:
I like the lines of the steps. They flow nicely.
The family, for my preference are too small, and are too near the corner of the picture. There is also a block up right of them that is distracting. I can understand that there is little you could do about that with regard to other people sat in the way, but I might perhaps at that point have not put them in the frame at all.
There is also a small white fleck (a tissue?) on the nearest curve of steps that is quite distracting.
I like the angle of the lighting, and I like the way the small steps intrude into the flow of the larger curves, without destroying the lines.
I good shot, and well done. Overall, I really like it.

| What a cool image. I think, for this challenge, it might have been better without the family. |
