Critique Club:
I like the motion blur in this shot, but feel that the composition hasn't been fully thought through. Rule of thirds is usually the photographer's best ally and should only be broken when you feel you have a good reason to. Here, I would have placed the exit/ entrance which is the focal point on the lower-right thirds junction. I wonder how many pictures you took here... I would have set myself up here with a tripod and waited for an interesting assortment of people to turn up. The people here seem a bit mundane and don't really grab my attention. A tripod would have helped you with some much needed sharpness and clarity. I do really like the curves and lines in the shot. Did you set the white balance or was it automatic? The colour balance seems off to me. Also, was this set on a high ISO? The noise levels are really bad. NeatImage could help this a little, but that is seriously bad noise, especially in the ceiling.
To sum up: an interesting environment chosen with some great shapes, but let down by haphazard composition, colour balance and noise levels.
The curved lines are the most interesting aspect to this photo, but there is alot of noise and the blurred effects are minimal and not connected to where the real action should be- towards where the lines converge.
I like this - the lines and subtle blur of the people work together to create a feeling of motion. Lots of noise, though - could stand to take a pass through NeatImage.
Nice, but other than the two folks on the left, not a lot of MB is going on, and I'm not entirely sure that they enhance the image... Picture also seems a little noisy too... It's certainly a cool tunnel though, but sadly I'm not convinced that it truly fits the challenge. It would have been great for parallel lines though...
