Recently visited the coast and there was some sort of 'Ship Graveyard' with a lot of other random rubbish strewn around, thought this looked quite odd.

Let me know what you think :)

It is decidely odd, and has interest, but I think there are a few too many foreground elements leading the eye out of frame. Having only one thing with any height to it makes for a bit of a weak foreground too.... no sense of being in close to anything. Not a fan of the vignette, though not overly bothered by it either. Cheers, Tony

I like the processing, it fits well with this image.

I do agree a bit with the above post though. Get a bit closer so the stairs are more prominent. Also, try to move the horizon so it does not intersect the subject. :)

might be interesting to move the horizon so it appears to be the "landing" at the top of the stairs ...

Really nice touch with the processing but there is simply too much in this shot. I would take it closer just to focus on the stairs.

Just looked again, and had a thought. If you were to move and use the clutter on the right side of the frame as a more direct leading line, coming from the bottom left of the frame into a quarter view of the stairs, that could prove interesting.
