Interesting idea, but not really captivating. Hard to decide a focal point and focus is not really present. something at the end of the long tunnel would give some interest, though hard with a gutter
I asume that this is a pretty hard thing to lit properly as one can see on the image. The colors are not good, would be better B&W. Dont know if its possible to manually control the focus on your camera but othervise its very hard get it right under this surcumstances
Okay maybe it fits the theme, but the picture doesn't give me much to look at. At the end of the day, it's a long "tunnel" but so? Given that, I do like where you put the subject in the frame.
Not sure why this makes me think of silence, but it is a cool picture. Interesting that you were able to get the light that far down the gutter. One thing to try is to use the depth of field at the near end and let it blurr out in the distance rather than close by.
I sure won't argue that a gutter is lonely and usually quiet. However this is not really an interesting topic or shot. If there was a light at the bottom or if you lighting was more dramatic...or..you get the idea. Often a good idea doesn't work when it comes out of the camera. :) Good luck in the challenge.
