My old sweet home

Well, believe it or not, I can find one thing that I would like to have seen differently.
I do not know if it is the actual way it's made, or if the lighting is washing it out, but I wish that the marbled look of the stairs and left hand rail were also on the right hand railing. The left one looks like it has a pattern on it, which looks like marbling, however, the right handrail is smoothe and plain white. Actually, the way it is, the left one almost just looks dirty, like it's got dusty fingerprints all over it.
Anyway, having said that, on to the praise...
The angle and framing/cropping is great. I like how you have cropped it as if we were walking up the stairs ourselves. You cropped a tiny piece of the pyrimid thing in the lower right corner, but it doesn't hurt the photo at all.
The focus and clarity are great as well. I like the detail in the steps, and also the detail we can see at the top of the steps. I don't think a blurred background would have worked very nicely here. Good choice.
Lighting looks very well. It's a nice full lighting, which almost gives the impression of natural light?? I think it really works to have this in sepia like tones. In combination with the warm lighting, I think it looks really great this way.
The border looks really great with the shot as well.
Not much more I can say, but excellent shot!
