 Cropped it to make it symmetrical, and did a colour cast (Ulead Photoimpact). That's it.

This is a staircase in central Auckland, New Zealand, near my University. Shortly after taking the picture, several out of it homeless guys asked me for money. Lying about how much I really had, I gave them $1.40, and then left cause I'm always creeped out when that happens.

This is my first submission by the way. I'm interested in seeing how far I can go with a crappy camera that has a huge lag time and constantly overexposes.

I'm finding the cropping a bit odd. It's not quite off tilt enough for me to enjoy it. I feel like it ought to be either more straight (rotate it to adjust) or more off kilter.

Angle. Get down and look up to reduce objects in the background.

The every so slight rotation / angle is distracting - not enough to be deliberate, just enough to be seen.

Too centered. Show us some of it's environment.

Good idea artistically. Needs technical improvement such as better focus.
