Wonderful image. It looks a bit old-style - as if it was an image developed on photographic paper. But i like it.

Thank you!

I'm considering applying some slight vignetting on the lower part of the image, just to make that uppermost stair step a bit less conspicous. I mean, the flight of stairs is not the main thing here.

I think this is an excellent photograph for a number of reasons.  First the choice of black and white is appropriate for a study of space with all the shades of greys ( not easy to do). You want the viewer to appreciate a certain continuity, dimensions and diversities of a given environment that you composed with care and the structure does really stand. The contrasty vault  does nicely frame this image with its curve, then my eyes go to the interesting paving followed by lines of oblique steps and pebbles, steps and pebbles leading to the stony beach with its beautiful curved white waves of the sea. The sense of space does open and lead us to the great distant multi layers mountains. It is a superb view.  This is excellent work.  Compliments,
