This is the view I have every day as I walk to my classroom at the end of the hall. It's the last door on the right. The hallway looks strange when it's empty, as it is just one small wing in a high school that houses nearly 3000 students. My students rarely see the school in this state.
By the way, this is my first entry, and I am quite new to photography. In fact, I really don't know how to work the manual settings on my camera. This was shot in AUTO. However, I'm taking a photography class this spring, so I hope to improve.

First Impression:
Leading lines drew my eyes to the end of the hall. Nothing in focus.
Composition:
Very centered, almost perfect mirrored composition. Leading lines very effective.
Subject:
Met the challenge well
Technical:
Thank you for including comments. Too bad you didn’t include your camera settings. I can only guess what the camera did. There is a tutorial on how to get the info from your metadata. Most programs used for viewing will let you right click, properties, advanced, to see all the camera info.
Your meter was probably set for center priority. This would have given too much priority to the bright doors at the end. A slower shot with a smaller aperture setting would have increased your depth of field.
Summary:
Welcome to DPC! Congratulations on your 71% placement with your first entry. Best way to learn is to take lots and lots of pictures, then decide what works for you and what doesn’t. The tutorials here are good for the technical stuff. Previous forum threads are also a good source of information. Then if still in doubt, post your own question, people are very helpful!
Hey, thanks for all the comments and suggestions. I see how this photograph could be viewed as boring, but I was aiming to capture the starkness of the hallway, as well as the lines and lockers leading out to the doorway. This was fun. I'm struggling now with a new idea for the next contest.
great use of lines and composition here.
the b&w works well in this photo too.
but i feel that this could'v been taken in a lower perspective.
it seems a little too high for me.
a little more "on the ground" would feel better.
still, i feel that this photo has its impact.
the empty corridors, lined with only lockers....
nice job.
