Even with that railing there staircases such as this make me feel uneasy.  I mean,  the railing might be at waist height when it's right next to you, but two stairs away it's at a perfect level to trip up your ankles and send you downwards.  I guess what I'm trying to say is that you've created an image that prompts a good emotional response.  Good modeling and lighting, though the purplish stair texture is a bit confusing.  Excellent perspective as well.
