 This is my first free study challenge and only my 3rd challenge to enter overall. I know the competition will be tough, but curious to see how my pic will do. Maybe I'll get last place and achieve one of my goals?

Too afraid of a disqualification to do much in post processing....

Sharpening
Cloning out a door handle and flower pot hanger in the background
Minor adjustments in contrast and a boost in saturation
Added a border

I like the idea and lighting. I think this would have been better with the foreground stairs is sharper focus.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.

Hmm. Good/not good. The odd light patterns and your having spotted them are on the good side. Maybe a lack of definition in too much of the rest of the picture is counting against it. 6
