not nearly as good as meny of the other shots you have taken, you need to be more carefull about the composition on this type of shots and thats not the only thing wrong with this. not saying its crap, because you would just get raged

It's Abstract.There is no "composition" the camera could be upside down, sideways, anything. It's for a vertical theme with contrast in Fine Art Abstract.
I scored a 92 on it from my prof who has been shooting for 32 years, so yeah.

How could the composition be different? I am curious on this one.

Quote (wikipedia)
composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art, as distinct from the subject of a work. It can also be thought of as the organization of the elements of art according to the principles of art.

Again, I don't think you should be telling to do something when you can't thing of how to do it yourself.
It's Abstract, the composition can be any way as long as it represents the theme.
I could hold the camera upside down as long as it still represented the theme, which was Vertical Abstract.

Black - thought you were leaving the forum like weeks ago because you couldn't take other people's opinions. It's weird, it's like you ask for opinions on something then totally freak out when people say anything that's different than what you think.
I'm not a photographer, but I am an artist. So I can't critique your photographs except saying that it does not look appealing TO ME. If it does to you, then fantastic, but I'd honestly like to know why it is you constantly post looking for some sort of advice then you can't take it. It makes NO sense to me. I've seen you do that both here and in graphics section -_-

My personal opinion (even though I know you wont listen) is:
I'm not even sure how a staircase *is* in fact abstract in the first place. Maybe that's where you're mistaken. So far as I understand it, abstract art has no recognizable shapes, I mean that's what the definition of abstract is : "Art that does not depict recognizable scenes or objects, but instead is made up of forms and colours that exist for their own expressive sake." And, isn't abstract photography more like - minimalism... you take a photograph of something really small? I thought I had read abstract photography still held to the general rule of abstract art as a whole.
