Greetings from the CC!

!st off I want to say that this is an original shot! It's unique and I love photographers that go out of there way to get that original shot! BRAVO!

COLOR & FOCUS: NOw this of course, lacks color due to the nature of the subject. SOmetimes that works well, but IMO, due to the many shadows, it lacks to please the eye. Tough to get a nice deep DOF here but you seem to have done a pretty good job. It seems a bit soft at the front but only slightly.

COMPOSITION: Tough to do a centered shot pleasing to the eye. It's a bit of center from top to bottom which I find somewhat distracting.Probably bringing it to one corner would've made the shot more dynamic.

LIGHTING: Unless done on purpose, cast shadows on white makes the picture look "dirty". The bottom of the roll is quite "dirty" and the top right a little overex. Can't be that easy getting good lighting from this angle on a macro!! But what I do like iss the strong light at the end of the tunnel. It gives it perspective and goes well with the black bg.

All in all an OK shot. I didn't vote in this challenge but I would've given you an avergage 5.

Keep it up!

nice shot, to be able to do this took some time and patience, for that alone I gave you a five hope you don't mind.

Took me a moment, but I got it! It's just that I rarely find mine like in my house (usually empty). Nice idea, but lacks color and composition (in my amateur opinion).

Pretty good, I like the way you lit the other end of the tube, it gives a nice effect.
