Default Stairway Shot

I finally had a decent amount of time to get out and practice (only about an hour), but i''ll take what I can get. I'm still new at this so I only managed to get about 15 shots in (i'm learning in manual mode). After looking at the shots, i think this one is my favorite of them all. I'm looking for critique and honest criticism about this photo.

18-135mm lens

Aperture: f/5.6

ISO: 200

The shot is good in composition but it feels empty without a subject. It would have been good if you could have made someone stand at the end. A sepia or B&W treatment would also look nice.

Thanks for the feedback. It was SOOC. I didn't really think about making it B&W, and Sepia isn't really something that I care for in my photos

Nice composition, the two railing serve well as a leading line.
But I should agree with Gaurav.
It's just too bad that you don't have anything at the end of it as a Point of Interest.
Keep shooting.
