Looks like a set that some crazy skateboarder would try.

Not very wheelchair-accessible...
Or is that a ramp over on the left?

I like the composition, but better lighting looks like it wasn't far away. Everything looks a little washed out. Perhaps a different exposure.

Here's a little (hack) photoshop correction.

I think I wanna grab my board and give it a try. Looks like a 10 stair with a little landing in the middle, followed by another at least 10 stair. Good times indeed!

It's a nice shot, but the light pole to the left kills it.

Compositionally speaking, the eye is led up the steps and into the middle set of buildings, but it stops there. A really good composition brings the eye around the whole piece. I would add a dramatic cloud or solar flare off the upper left side of the building with the green copper top. The closeup gray wall on the far right, I would crop it to about half its present width, or re-shoot the scene with an angle that includes less of that wall. And I agree with Chunk that it needs some saturation and contrast work.

Note: this is a "critique", not a "criticism". I.e. constructive intent.

I think the composition's pretty good, but I'd probably crop it in a bit closer..about even with the landing on the stairs.

Whatever happened to your photo a day thread? I think my three week life span was off by about a week and a half.

Oh really? I'm not really all that fond of Tacoma, Washington. It's nice in places, but I prefer to just drive through on my way to Seattle.
