Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a stunning shot when you first look at it. The lines leading you in and out and in and out and in and out, oh, hold on, getting a little dizzy here ;-)

The comments about the black space in the upper left have already been said so I won't repeat the, not sure what you could have done about it though. I like the crop on the bottom as it is, the way the curves on each rail is just inside the picture and even playing with my magic envelopes I can't quite find the crop that would work better that would take away that distracting black area. Too bad the lights weren't on that level.

As for the shot, the shadows are playing with my eyes or you had a tiny bit of camera shake. It's a great illusion either way but irritating at the same time, just like any great illusion shot, making you really look twice and try to figure it out.

The colors work well for this scene, the stark black and yellow tones work very well together.

Hope my comments help.

A little more light on the first stairwell would have given a bit more depth I think.

Very nice, although the dark upper left corner is a bit distracting.

I almost would like to see the top cropped - really nice perspective

This is a great shot, I just wish so much of the picture wasn't that big black shadow.

Very nice!
I think there is a little too much green in the second color, but I'm giving it a 9 anyway.

really cool picture, but it would be better if the upper left corner wasn't so dark.

I like the idea. But it's a shame that there is a big part of black in the picture.
