Hi Cream,
Your rendering is top notch, faultless really. The sense of light and the quality of the texturing is superb. The one artistic element that could really improve this illustration is attention to the composition of the elements within the frame.
At present there are two main staircases that are the dominant items, the left hand one against the wall and the zig zag one beside it to the right. They are both generally following the same direction so the composition is missing something. The eye is following each one and since both go in the same direction the eye isn't sure which one to follow. Notice on the Escher sample that markps posted, that Escher has used a triangle as his primary compositional device. The three main stairs form a triangle and this leads the eye around the page from one staircase to the next. Then he supplements the 3 primary staircases with secondary items to support the altered perspectives. In short he has cleverly orchestrated all the items to work together and lead the eye around the page and please the mind in the process.
Keep up the good work, its a really beautiful piece.
