I like it as well but would like to see the image rotated so at least that first step is on a perfect horizon line.

Ditto what milleker said.

Nice shot.

Is it possible that there is some lens distortion? The bottom step seems to slope down going from left to right, but the horizontal lines in the window seem to slope up going from left to right.

I forgot to add that I like the composition and the mood of the photo.

No there is no distortion in the lens. Its a 50 years old house. In those days these houses were made by hand without much of equipments.

Where is this house? Do you really mean 50 years?

In 1957 they used power tools and levels, just like today.

Well, it does not really matter. I was trying to say that I do not believe the picture needs straightening.

Well, if you have ever visited india then you could have had some idea.

nice shot but i just seem to want the camera at a lower angle, bit farther back(if its possible) and darker at the bottom of the stairs. that way it would lead your eyes up the stairs to the light. still great , moody shot.
