 Watch the stairs...shot in an empty farmhouse located near Mountain, Ontario. Thanks John, of Havelea Farms, for allowing me to have access to such a wonderful old house! I'm sure I'll be back in the future :-)

First Impressions
The 'frame' isn't the first thing I notice in the image. It's 'out of the box' and an odd angle, but the frame does indeed exist.

Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
I'm trying to see if the angle/perspective grows on me the more I look at the image, and whilst it does slightly, I still find it 'unnatural' enough that it doesn't sit well to view.

I do wonder about it converted to b&w/toned and whether this would enhance the 'framing'.

Comments, Score & Placement Review
64/125 very middle of the pack for an 'unaverage' image, so I guess this is indicative for you.

A lot of positive comments, yet a total average from them of 6.5, perhaps doesn't resonate that well with what they have said.

Summary
I think there is potential with the staircase and the framing aspect but there is a lot else going on in the image that it competes too much for attention. The 'vertigo' aspect, whilst existant, perhaps could be enhanced by a variation in the angle/perspective, 'next time'.

I like the shot...The tilt works great with the banister "framing" the stairs...Good job

Looks like brand new stairs have made it into a renovation project. Narrow, certainly, but it looks like an interesting older house. The off-kilter angle encouraged my eye to wander around the scene.

The perspective on this is great and the processing is nice, too.
