This has an impact. It tells me that the long hallway leads to a dead end with no way to exit. I find that disturbing, so it is effective. Technically it could be clearer, but the out of focus adds to the discomfort. What seems to be missing here is the textural element. Sure the walls are smooth, etc, but that doesn't really get the spotlight here. Not bad though.

For those that are just learning, like me.
Composition: Scoring in this area is based on basic composition of a picture and includes the rule of thirds, balance, cropping, and curved and diagonal lines. Subject matter that does not lend itself to the picture or otherwise unwanted is also considered here.
Originality: Scoring in this area is based on pictures or concepts that I have seen, as well as how much effort you have invested in the picture. Usually a little something that sets it aside from a snapshot. Does it make me want to come back for another look? You know things like that.
Technical Aspects: Focus, exposure, lighting, and other special effects (done by the camera), and post processing are all considered in this category.
Meets Challenge: This is based on my interpretation of if you, have/have not, met the challenge. This is fairly simple but quite important for this site.
There are many sites that can give you assistance in achieving better skills in photography, but I think the best way to learn is to take pictures and show them to other people. Believe me when it is a good one you will know it.
I'm not sure that I like the sighs cut on the left and right edges... I think this particular view would also work much better in focus... = 5 - jmsetzler
This is an interesting photo with stong lines that draw my focus to the center. but once my eyes get there, they hit a blank wall... literially... The soft focus also washes away any texture that might be there. But that's just me :)
I like how it makes me feel like I'm walking through the hall. nice converging lines. if you held the camera still, it would help bring out the texture (though you probably ignored that on purpose).
