Beautiful. Wonder if it would be better cropped down just enough to get rid of the stair rail?

I like the unexpected color on what looks to be a misty gray day.

wow what a cool capture; I do wish the top of th estairs was a little straighter... but I understand that you probably tilted it on purpose (I do the same thing sometimes) what a really cool mozaic to find and photograph! I'd love to see a series involving these stairs they're really artistically inspiring! :-) beautiful find!

The colours in the steps contrast nicely with the mist at the top.

Original picture with a very nice contrast.
Not sure it was possible to avoid (or even clone out) the rail, it's not that distracting after all.
The first not horizontal line against the frame below is more annoying.
Globally, good job.

Beautiful. Would be interesting to see with just have the bright pattern and foggy trees (without the railing and green branches at the top).

I love the stairs leading to the mist. The tree and railing are distractions - try a different angle?

I love the color of the stairs and the fog, but I find the perspective quite annoying..
