I think IMO, That more banister should be added in the foreground with a tighter crop at the top. The composition and overall feel of the photo is very good, nice job with the PP on it.
A tighter crop would improve this, I think. Taking out the volute at the base of the banister would give the sense of motion rather than an arupt halt.
the stairs function as a good tool to move the eye from the bottom-left corner of the image to the top-right, but the statude force my eye back down suddenly.
but nice overall color-temp
This does not meet the challenge - inanimate but not an arranged composition of objects - except insofar as interior decorating is just that :-)
Come back to give an extra pint for being a purty shot.
I gave this photo a 1 because it didn't seem to me to fulfill my expectation of a "still life," a classic form of artfully arranged objects. Call me narrow minded but that's the way I see it. Nevertheless, it is a lovely photo, one you should be proud of.
