Interesting. Good idea and is desolation but I can't find a spot that my eye wants to rest on. The cropping seems a bit aggressive. You could try putting the center of the tunnel into a golden ratio type composition. The colors don't work for me - Seems like afternoon sun and everything is washed out. 5

I think the composition is great here but the exposure and colors need work; too caustic green v. digital grey blues. I do like the clay earth; perhaps revisit this spot at the golden hour.

Reminds me of the ruinds in central America, Tough time of day to take this photo.

Looks like a nice location. Green is rather hard, IMO, to make desolate. Green as a visual symbol implies verdent, fertile, all things bright and beautiful, if you know what I mean. Red rich soil tends to say something similar. I wonder if you had composed the image more through the broken old tunnel or bridge if there was a more desolate viewpoint which you could then have enhanced by reducing the saturation of the colours.
