I see you didn't find any of your comments helpful, so I'm not really sure If I'll be able to offer any helpful comments, since I seem to agree with some of them, but I'll try.
I'm not really into this pic. I think the reason is pure lack of interesting subject.
While I like the angle you took the pic at, there really isn't anything to focus on at the end of the hallway, and nothing really in the hallway to focus on.
There is the lighting, but what I notice is a blown out area to the left of the photo and a few lights down the hallway. The stripes the lighting makes could make for an interesting subject if they weren't way too bright and blown out.
I am glad there is a bit of texture in the wall. That at least gives us a bit of something to look at, although it isn't particularily interesting.
Focus and clarity appear to be ok. I don't think the suggested DOF would work here, as there really isn't anything to look at in the forground and with the background in focus, at least it leads our eyes through the photo. Like I said, I think the angle is the most interesting part, just wish there were something at the end of the angle.

My eye is drawn directly to the first bright spot on the wall, and the rest of the composition becomes an afterthought. I think this would have been more powerful a shot with a smaller apeture. The end of the hall would have been more crisp and maybe the highlights would have accented the shot rather than taking it over.

I like the framing and subject. A black and white treatment with some dodging and burning around the lights might add impact.

When submitting to a challenge find it best to ask myself, Is this something I'd hang on a wall??? I also think this photo would have looked better if it was converted to B&W. However it is an interesting way to shoot a hallway and looks pretty crisp. Good luck in this challenge.

I just heard a report today about how they can now make petrified wood artificially in just a few days ... maybe you discovered a discarded prototype : )

The subject feels too centered

what an interesting image. pretty wild how the pinecone's coloring blends in with the rocks. i hope this is not being overlooked in this monster-sized challenge, and that you are getting some good comments and suggestions. if not, please don't take it personally; maybe just consider it a starting point for the rest of the year. good luck in this and the challenges to come!
