Well I don´t have a lot to say about this image as I find it very pleasant to look at, it´s a good shot but I still think I would not have voted it higher than a 6 if I had voted, mostly cause even though it´s a pretty good image, it doesn´t really grab me either.
It´s well composed and exposed, the depth of the image is great and it meets the challenge head on. I am not sure I like the blue toning but it´s not bothering me much either, I would have to see the shot with a more neutral color cast to decide wich I would prefer, like I said, this is nothing that is bothering me much and I completely understand why you chose the blue cast.
Post processing is nice, only thing I would have done diffrently was to even out the lighting a bit, darken the areas that are the brightest and brigthen the darkest areas but not by much so the image doesn´t loose too much contrast.
I just think this image lack´s that certain something to make it really pop off the screen, maybe something extremely interesting at the end of that hall? Don´t know...
Anyway, congrats on your new personal best :) Kind regards from Iceland, Lárus.
there's plenty of rhythm here and it works well--it just does'nt have a "WOW" feeling to it. Perhaps if you chose a different tone or hue to it, or even make it a bit darker to add a sense of mystery--it would problably add more visual impact. good potential here.
The whole thing feels like it is tilting to the right to me. Other than than, it looks great! I like the blue tones and the composition really draws me in.
