This sort of photo appeals to me. The composition and tonal ranges are good, although I am un-decided with regard the graininess. I would prefer the small object just visible in the mouth of the tunnel to be burned in as this would accenuate the idea of the tunnel as a void. |

Nice lines - and the lighting hints of object out of frame. |

Great the way the lines all lead to the darkness. Graininess works very well. |

Would have love to see the train approaching. :) |

I like the PP fits this shot to a T, it adds a spooky feel to the compositon you used. |

I like the way the symmetry of the tunnel structure is broken by the angle of the photo. It creates converging lines which draw your eye into the photo. I guess if the lines were longer, you'd get a vanishing point. The range of very dark to very light is appealing to me in B&W. The noise works well in the photo as well. |

Awesome composition! I really like the fact that your eyes are led to complete darkness...it really makes you wonder what is back there! The tones are so dramatic too...very well done. |

This is a neat picture and really makes the mind work. I thought you were looking up the side of a building or shaft of some sort. I like the contrast of the white spots along the wall. |

My initial thought was "T-Max 400 pushed to 800". I like the film type grain properties of the image - it works well. |

brilliant contrast and shadows

I like the abstract perspective. The two dark shadows make me think of two souls left behind, late for the last train out. |

I, too, love the mystery in this; where does it really lead? Where would you go if you walked there, subway trains aside? You've captured the shadows wonderfully here. |

The implicit, the hint, and unrevealed, along with the explicit texture are what I consider and learn something of when viewing this. |

I like the texture and graininess of this, but I think if you saw the rear end of the train leaving (or front arriving) it would add more to the photo. |

Are those shadowss of people? Pretty good results a 1/15 handheld but doesn't realy exite me. Is this cropped at all as I'm wondering if a little of the platform would help any? |

Looks like it's been shot in film. The graininess works well for this. |

Very interesting. I like how there is the one little ray of light on the bottom left leading out of the tunnel. |

Cool picture and I like the sense of "what lurks beyond". It would be nice to see a bit of detail in the shadows. |

this looks like something from a 1950s space movie - very cool stuff - the darkness of the image really accentuates the textures |

For some reason I am not skilled enough to take photos like this. I always lean towards wanting sharp pictures. What I like about this is that the toning and softness lends to the eerie mood. The lines and patterns also capture your attention. |

I really like everything about it. I like the softness & graininess & the pitch black corner - it makes it really moody & a little scary. |

B/W photography at its best...Geometry! I guessed 800 ISO before I saw it listed...because of the high grain content. It's a harsh toss-up between...Don't Get the Picture Too Little Light & Get the Picture With Too Much Grain.
I'm guessing, but maybe 200 ISO at 4 seconds on a Bogen tripod (for sturdiness) would reduce the grain. (Low-Light & Night photography are my weakest,...So, this is merely out-loud processing. I hope something here sparks an idea for you.)
Snaps for courage to get great perspective & leading lines! :) |

Very VERY COOL, Doc! I am so excited to have a whole year to share and study other people's style and presentation of their artistic side. I love the geometric shapes and the way the lines in this lead you in such an interesting flow -- and I really love how you processed it with an ever-so-slight grain and grunge. It fits perfectly!
Awesome black and white imagery!

cool patterns - the darkness is a bit spooky. |

Nice effect here, the photo makes me wish to see more of the tunnel. I like the patterns, but there's a lot of contrast. |

Hunter-Reminds me of a cargo hold in the movie Alien. The repetitive pattern with the dark beyond has an erie feel. Nice work.

Maybe a bit soft, but that doesn't really hurt this in my opinion. Nice graphical presentation. |

I like the concept - it seems a bit grainy in a way that does not serve the image well. I'd like to see the details - handheld? high ISO setting? I would be hard to get a tripod set up on the metro platform most of the time. |

interesting perspective and patterns. My eye wants to see the light at the end of the tunnel. |

Interesting composition, but personally I find the bottom left corner a bit dark and lacking in detail. |
