The stairs at the bottom are a little heavy, but otherwise nice. One of my faves for this challenge.

Comment by GabrielS:
This bottom black mass is very disturbing.
Good idea but not so good execution.

Comment by macrothing:
8 - Nice image. Variation in the colors, tweaking to try to gain a little more depth, may have given this a little extra in my opinion - although as is, does seem quite natural coloring. Just the stairs at the fore, their color mainly, perhaps dominate a little too much, not sure. A slight variation in the lighting/time of day may have also given this a little extra. Minor, but the exclamation in your title detracts from the simplicity, but you may well have your own reasons for putting it there. Nice symmetry.

too much of the dark stairs to be seen here IMO - takes away from the atmosphere, a bit too much softening on the plants.
