Great, I like the old vs. new dynamic.
And the bird is kinda eerie.

Remove that bird in Photoshop!!!!!!

Just kidding. I like the little knobs on the rail of the stairs. (Is it called a rail?) they are very present and make me remember how fun it is to slide down rails without knobs.

The photo is great, but I would have a liked the same photo 3 steps to the the left. More focus on the zig zag of the stairs and rails, Church out to the left corner, and a fuller reflexion of the 2 persons in the glass. But I know perfectly well that the perfect world is only in my fantasy. Its about being there and your shot has a nice feel

We call the bannisters (usually on internal stairs) or the handrail.

This was shot on the move as Gina was in a hurry to get to the Tate Modern, so I didn't have any time to set it up, but then I would have missed the pigeon
