I like it. The light at the bottom is a nice balance. The top corners need a bit of extra exposure, maybe. That is only my opinion.
Cheers Ole
The texture and lines work well for me. Consider cropping at the bottom in between the two cracks in the floor.
Nice image; well captioned
perhaps a little moodier?
Nice, I don't get the feeling of fear though, too brightly lit to suggest fear.
another +1 to Mike's comment. When I first saw it, there wasn't those extra steps...
If you follow Mike's suggestion the stairs will appear a bit more precipitous; and then dim the light at the bottom and to make it a bit more 'fearful'.
+1 to Mikes comment and I might even think about cutting out a bit further towards the stairs.
I always find these old passageways so interesting, especially when they have been fit with modern amenities like hand rails and electric lights.
