This is great! I loved how you took a common image (a spiral staircase) but looked at it from such a unique angle. I loved even how it played with sense perception, it actually is slightly confusing and reminds me of the song Hannah by the Freelance Whales ("Hannah takes the stairs/ but she can't tell/ that it's a winding spiral case/ is she right-side-up or upside-down/") Which is one of my favourite songs! My only real suggestion is that the colours, although distinct I think would have really "popped" had there been more contrast. I think that the piece also would have done well as a black and white just to build that extra contrast because I really do not think that the faint blues and sepia colours have any real purpose overall. They do not take away anything but they do not add anything either overall. However this is my personal opinion and I am far from an expert when it comes to these things. Overall very intriguing and very good!

This is work it´s quite intriguing, titled as "Duality". It´s quite fascinating, if we take a closer look we can see that the same ladder is used to go up and go down.
The illumination and materials of the space, they´re good, also the DOF, in my opinion i think you could have used it a bit more.
Maybe even darken some areas, creating an even more "powerful" image, letting only some light go out\in the building.
Still it´s quite good, really, also i love the concept.
Finally, the textures were well applied, congrats for the effort.
The output result, was great
