I wasn't a member during this challenge, and just came across this shot tonight...and I had to add it to my favorites. Who knew something so simple could be so beautiful? Great shot...love it! :o)
I didn't have time to comment during the challenge. But I'm taking 2 minutes now to comment on this awesome image.
This was one of the two 10's I gave out on this challenge. It was a great idea and the execution was near perfect. I really think this should have placed higher than it did even if it was in the top 60.
A great shot and a winner as far as I'm concerned.
Very interesting composition with the spiral line of the cylinder. It makes your eyes follow it all the way toward the center where the light is. Looks like the looking through a toilet paper/towel tube. Great textures captured of the cardboard. "10"
I'm sure the light down the middle of this object was necessary to get the texture, but it is very distracting to me. Too bad, because the texture on the rest of it is well done.
Great composition. Light straight down the middle works great here. Tell them they're full of pooh if some say this would work beter off centre (rule of third). Would make a nice print. Jacko. 10
Is this what I think it is--paper towel roll? I love the depth of field, it keeps me right near the middle and yet still makes my eye wander into the spiraling light. Very well done.
Don't suppose the tube came from dpcPrints, huh? Tonihng is effective, composition is good - abstract enough to suit a centred set-up, and exposure is fine. Great on the texture of the inside of the tube too, but a touch on the mundane side, without being radically different enough of a view to grab my attention. Competent though.

+ It is a tunnel of light filled with textures :). Very nicely done. Did you experiment by putting your point of interest more the right or left: giving your photo a slightly off balanced feeling? Perhaps this would have made your photo even more interesting.
- Can't think of any.
Great.... the only thing that might bother me with this photo is the fact that im not sure if i should focus on the light coming in, or on the texture of the tissue paper roll.
