Greetings from the Critique Club, Danny!
Composition: Very interesting. At a first glance I also would have said, that you should have cropped more from the right side. But then I realised that the patterns on the wall are quite interesting. But there is something about the composition which feels odd. I think using the rule of thirds would improve the photo. The centering doesn't fit here. I don't know if it would have been technically possible, but instead of cropping from the right I would like to see more from the left side. Then there also could be seen more of the darker area on the left, which corresponds the the right side.
Lighting: I guess the red colour comes from a wrong or no white balance setting. I don't know of that was intentional but I would like it be more "natural". I know it's a bit silly because for this subject it does not matter if it's red, yellow, blue or green. But the red just _looks_ like a technical "error". While testing some different crops I also changed the hue a little (+16) which results in a more golden/yellow tone. I think that's much better.
The "star" effect created by the small aperture is nice.
Focus: Generally ok. 1/2s exposure time, so you surely used a tripod. I can't make out where the camera focussed, but the foliage could be a bit sharper.
Challenge: Met. A deeper tunnel would have had more impact, but it certainly fits to the challenge theme.
Creativity: Well, not overly creative, but not totally boring either.
If you have questions just send me an Email. I'll happily discuss this more.
-Stephan

| excellent perspective shot... I really like the exposure effect on the lights here... it adds a 'mystical' theme to the tunnel :) - setzler |

| This is a very interesting shot. From the thumbnail it looks like an eye of some sort. Very nice! |

| Good perspective shot. I like the starring of the two farther lights and wonder why the closer one didn't do it, too. Lighting - a tad dark, but probably best for this subject (is that waldo at the end of the tunnel, standing in the darkness? joke) Color - honestly hard to say, no frame of reference, but it looks pretty good. Focus - also seems pretty good. Interest - moderate, nothing dramatic or really eye catchy, but not totally boring either. 8 Swash |

| Great photo. I love the visual impace the strong colouring gives, and the composition leads the eye really well to the centre. It does seem to me that the centre could be a little sharper however, but still a good strong 10. |

| Odd how the composition of this is ultimately centred, but it doesn't feel as though it is. I really like the colours in this photo, and the sense of barrenness. I don't know how you took this without being terrified! This space scares me. I'd hate to be alone in there at night. High marks for being so evokative. |

| nice colors... neat concept and exectution is good. I would probably crop out the right side some more. the extra dark area doesn't add to the composition.. a more square frame would benefit this. |

| I really like this a lot. The colors are awesome and the exposure is dead on. You might have been able to crop just a bit of the right hand side. Really nice. |

| Nice take on perspective, and I enjoy the burnt orange color, but I wish this tunnel were longer, creating an ever stronger feeling of perspective. |

| The color tones are wonderful ! The tunnel being in thirds makes for a perfect photo. Your lighting is great. This is well done and meets the challenge well. = 10 |
