I believe this is a successful photograph because of the texture, color, patter, and angle. The texture looks nice because the stair pattern and the spiral design. The color is unique as it has brighter and darker colors included. Th texture is very focused on the spiral form of the stairs. The angle from above makes the stairs look cooler from another view point. What i like about the picture is the is the location, lighting, and the shadows that the light leaves.
