I don't like to leave comments that aren't good, but I did not like this photo at all. Though technically it meets the challenge it is rather drab and not interesting to look at. I've taken quite a few like this, unfortunately.
Interesting shot. I think I see the idea here and how it meets the challenge, however I can understand how some could miss it. The composition is good, a fine use of repetitive patterns. It seems like your focus could be a bit sharper. That and some levels tweaking could strengthen the presentation here IMO. I think some brightened lights and deeper darks could increase the overall tonal range and maybe bring out more detail and engage the viewer stronger.
an allegorical interpretation of the challenge! life as a maze with no worthy destination. a high score, but not the highest, because it doesn't have the visual impact of my favorites.
good point, suitable title, maybe it won't score well since people tend to wote low to "non direct to subject" entries. I like the metaphore.
good luck
I really really like this idea for this challenge, but the photo is.... well..... boring :-( Unfortunately I am not sure what to suggest to improve it.
