Hmm. While I think this is interesting, it isn't really drawing me in and holding my interest at all. I saw the decent score and thought maybe I was missing something, so I look harder and I am not sure why, but the shot just isn't very appealing to me.
The only thing the lighting really adds to the photo (other than light obviously) is that it makes the stairs darker as they go down, but even that is very slight and not really a major effect.
The color seems odd as well. Lots of orange-ish yellow. While I realize that this may be the actual color, it gives it the appearance that the white balance is off.
Focus is good for the conditions you stated. The stairs seem slightly soft, but the far wall seems nicely in focus.
The blown out light on the wall doesn't add to the photo, and I think creates a distraction even.
I like the scene you captured. I think it's interesting and definately not something I personally see everyday, but still, I'm not drawn into the photo. I hope this isn't harsh, I just can't connect with this shot.
