In most images we are unaware of perspective.  It is present in most photographs though we take it for granted unless we see an extreme example such as single point perspective. This would be illustrated by the rail road tracks getting closer and closer together as they disappear into the distance.

This photograph is an excellent example of one point perspective witnessed by the bricks in the walls tapering toward a single point in the distance.  Except this image also has a secondary single vanishing point, the stairs leading to the open door. What I would call a very interesting combination of graphic elements.

Photographically this arrangement of perspectives along with the open door creates a claustrophobic feeling that tells a story of danger and mystery.  There is nothing menacing in the photograph but you know you don’t want to go up those stairs.

The photograph mentioned in their e-mail that they like the image but felt there was something wrong with it that they could not put their finger on.  At first I thought it was the colors.  I played around with differ hews but could not get anything that appealed to me.  Then it dawned on me “It’s not the colors, it’s the color”. 

I might suggest to the photographer that they convert this to dynamic image to black and white.  I have done a quick rendition below for your consideration.
