Taken at a children's playground. I spotted this tunnel and knew I had to enter the Circle Challenge. No flash was used, Exp. was compensated at -0.7. I adjusted the colours to brighten the picture, resized before sharpening. All imperfections were left in.

Thanks for all comments. I was not able to get a better angle to get that perfect circle, or I would have had to clone out a bar in front of it, as well as the 'distracting' pieces of the playground at the end of the tunnel. This was one of those moments where I was walking by and spotted the tunnel otherwise I may not have found a good example of a circle for the challenge.

The remaining segment of the far aperture is distracting - without it, it would be a great texture shot, with more, it would be a great framing shot, as it stands, the eye is drawn to the verticals, distracting from the main circle. Why have the borders? The black on the right just adds to the shadow. Still, a great photo!

Color adds. Interesting crop for this.

i guess this is in some play area and that's why the 'Fun' in title. But seeing something on the play side would have enhanced the title a bit more.

For this contest everyone who has the word âcircleâ in their title is getting a lower score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I downgrade due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge know the topic of the challenge â we do not need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will most likely not down grade, but it better be good. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of protest â but scores are all I have. (this is a good photo - downgrade to a 5)

a little bit more perspective to get rid of the other side of the circle would make this a stronger image, imo.

i like the reflection in the (copper?) but the fact that you can see the other side is distracting.

I like this. The patenation of the copper gives some lovely coloration. Great lighting and shadow. 8

Neat shot! I think this would be a little bit stronger if we couldn't see the cylinder go all the way through. Was something limiting how far over you could shoot? A smidgen to the left and this would be a great great shot! - 7 - JeB

The angle at which this was taken and the reflections inside the tube makes for a dull subject more interesting. Good job. Good luck in the challenge.
