First Impressions
Didn't get the connection with Oz when I voted this but did see it when I saw this image PC. I gave this a 5 during voting. First impressions, as best I recall were: regarding the title - Dorothy must have been a 'wiz' getting into a tangle with the balloon (yes, I know).

Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
Nice composition and good moment capture. The b&w works quite well but there is some depth/drama lacking, in my opinion - just seems a little 'flat'. A more refined crop in a few places, albeit minor, would just 'finish' this off a little nicer.

I didn't 'notice' the ankles until I just read your comments.

Comments, Score & Placement Review
355/418 is lower down the pack than I would have guessed this would place. The image is quite sound in my opinion, perhaps just the subject matter didn't interest people that much, who knows. A score of 5.06 - well at least you made it over the 5 line..

Your one comment in Challenge likes the b&w processing.

Summary
A somewhat amusing capture, converted into an effective b&w image - for me, just a little more crazy processing, but that's just me - would have given it more of an edge, that I think would work well, given the situation.

This is why my photography is no good, I know there are those that like this type image, but I am not one of them...old fashioned I guess

Comment by Sheryll:
You needed a tripod here. The highlights a blown out and the coloring is sort strange to me. It does look like an eye though.

That is one of the properties of Oil. :)

Good shot. Got a 7 from me.

Very graphic, like a page from a comic book.

Comment by Bilberry:
The arty feel of this image gives this tunnel a quality lacking in many other similar shots. Nicely done.

Taking the less traveled route as usual. This was a nice change from having my eyeballs ripped out of their sockets by the rest of the challenge. Not surprised to find this is your entry. I gave it a 7.

Not sure how this meets the challenge without the title.
