QUOTED IMAGE

I love the idea for this photo...it's excellent. I think I might have cropped it a bit differently ...the horizon feels a bit high making the whole photo feel somewhat bottom heavy. Could be just me...others will have to comment.

Other than that I'd love to see this in color. :)

Nice black and white conversion, love the density range. I agree something is a little off with the composition. I'm not sure it is the horizon or the fact that the "tunnel" is dead center that bothers me. But I think that is good because I can't stop looking trying to figure out where the tension is coming from.

I would also crop is to the right iof the photo( my right) losing the white object in the BG and the tree in the foreground? Sweet that you managed to get people in the perspective.

Good photo.

I played around with it...I concluded that the original is the most effective version. :) Please disregard my comment about cropping. Like rambo noted, it creates healthy tension.

I liked the buildings on the right, seemed to create a balance?
