Greetings From the Critique Club!!!

Initial Impact: OOOH wow lines, stairs, makes me dizzy I like it!!!

Color/TOnes: Vrey nice tonal range in this phto you have blacks and whites a a wonderfull balance of tones in the middle.

Lighting: I think that the lighting is pretty good in this photo I don't think it's great but pretty standard, But it looks to be just using available lighting. I thinkone improvement might have been to get a starburst on the lights and maybe a little less haze around them.

Composition: Your "horizon" is a little off in my eyes. Due to the dizzy nature of this shot my eyes search for a line or a foundation to ground on to help give perspective. In this case it is the large post on the bottom of the photo. I think this should have been horizontal instead of slanted to the left. It seems to throw the whole photo off balance a little. I also noticed the chandalere is tilted a bit to the left a well.

Focus: Dead on.. perfect.. No complaints what so ever.

Overall: I like it..

Discordant lines, my eye stops at the second landing then roves to the chandelier, cutting the image in half. 4

Lovely. I only have the feeling that it is falling to the left.

For some reason it says "vertigo" to me. Not bad at all.
