Comment by Imagineer:
I love this shot - it's tones, lighting and texture are just great. It's not typical travel guide stuff which is why I find this so refreshing. I can imagine it featuring in a more select publication extolling the pros and cons of remote or unusual locations, perhaps something like a Rough Guide or even a Backpacker's Bible, etc.

One of my top picks - but I'm just slightly bugged that it's skewed slightly clockwise.

Good shooting - nice sense of progression, movement from dark to light and the POV placed absolutely central to that. I'd be pleased with it myself, but certainly wouldn't have entered it to this challenge in the expectation of scoring very well at all. High 4's for this in the end? it's simply too easy for people to dismiss it as 'not meeting the challenge' I fear. My one criticism would be that I'm not convinced about the orientation of it.

I really do like this - i do so love stairs! unfortunately the wonkiness of the shot is very distracting, and could easily be fixed with a moderate amount of rotation. also, a bit of light in the lower left flight might have lessened the oppressive blackness in this portion. i like the almost-sepia tones and the graininess though, and the "unknown" light at the top works very well. 6.

I want tickets to a known destination. And, if I had to guess, this is an apartment complex in some suburb.

Somehow I feel that this is getting a beating for being outside the box. But hey, I like it (8)...

A great photo and colors, but I don't think it fits the challenge.

Comment by Tranquil:
I think that this is an interesting composition, but it does not seem to be a photo that I would find myself seeing in a magazine. Besides that, the light coming from the top of the stairs looks a little bit blown out.
