| | | | 1. I think this one is really good, good contrast and the way that wall frames the staircase is really neat
2. Its lacking composition, and its a bit blurry. Doesn't really have that good of contrast.
3. I'm really digging the way this one turned out, the colors and contrast are great.

I like how they turned out.. I'm not so great on figuring out how to make pictures look better.. specially pictures that look great as is.
Only thing I see is the second one seems a tiny bit blurry.

| | | | 1. The white stripe at the bottom really draws my eyes away from the picture. I'd darken it a little bit, just to keep attention more on the stair area. Other than that, I really like it.
2. It's blurry, which wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't so much going on in the picture with all the lines and shadows tossed by the peeling paint. The composition itself isn't very dynamic, even if it wasn't blurry, though it could probably be somewhat recovered if the contrast was brought up. If it was mine, I'd scrap it.
3. Two things: (1) the blow out at the top of the stairs... not so much. (2) If you look at the way the bottom part of the stairs lay from this angle, it kinda fucks with your head. If you notice, the front railing runs at the same angle as the back half of the bottom of the stairs and covers it, and then there is the bizarre melding of the front vertical rail with a piece of graffitti on the wall behind it. It looks absolutely weird. If you go back to that location, I'd squat down to be able to see the space between the bottom railing and the stairs, so you get six evenly apart parallel lines running downward as opposed to five, with one being bulkier than the other. You could also bring up the yellows in the picture a bit, I think it would bring a little life into it. And total props on getting the Pink Floyd tag in there.

| | | | 1. This is a good photo. I think it's just a tad bit over exposed though. I'm really not feeling the blown out floor. It leads my eye out of the picture, away from the staircase (which seems to be your subject). It has great contrast. Whatever site you hosted these with strips your exif info, but it doesn't look like you shot these in B&W mode anyway, but rather did a conversion (that's what I was looking for if you didn't catch on ;)). I like the angle. Get rid of the border (that goes for all of them, not feeling it at all).
2. It's out of focus, flat and boring. If you backed up a bit, it might have helped the composition a bit. If you took these on B&W mode, instead of doing a conversion then that is why it looks so flat. Work on your focus more however.
3. It has good exposure, great colors, but the composition is a bit off. You cut off the side of the staircase, which is your subject. If you didn't intend for it to be your subject then you're doing it wrong. You shouldn't really have anything of your subject cut off. You can't really set a rule in stone with photography, there is ALWAYS going to be an exception with rules. However, in this photo cutting off the side of the staircase screws with the contrast. Also, that railing that just meshes the wall and staircase together really screws it up. I would try just a slightly higher angle, after you've found a way to get the whole staircase into the frame ;) The blowout up top detracts from the photo as well. That's just timing. Try to pick your shots during a time when the lighting is perfect for your photo. I know all too well that this is not possible all the time, let alone most of the time. But, that's how it could have been better.
It looks like you know what you're doing, you just need to keep shooting. Practice practice practice. That's the only way you'll improve. Shoot until you think you're going to break the damn button off your camera. Hope this helps.
