Beautiful use of available light and yes of course title ;-) Some go up, some go down. Some look up, some look down. Some stay in the dark, some find the light... The human element was perfect. My continued admiration for your vision and thought, Kal.

Excellent vignetting with purpose. The lady half in-out of the shadow is effective too. Reminds me of the Night Gallery episode in which a person projects themselves into a painting to escape his life, but then eventually can't get back out. Maybe these stairs lead to something better. :-)

Wow! This is beautifully composed & exposed... and I bet you didn't have to ask the woman to stand there at the corner of the painting, am I right? Yeah... you shot at the right moment like always Kal :)
