The slight vignetting is effective - but perhaps not effective enough? I find I'm drawn to the areas outside the concrete - where the trees are, and I'm finding nothing to hold my eye amongst those pillars and slabs of concrete. Perhaps that is your point, but it has lead to a difficult viewing experience. The idea of making nothing your subject is difficult to carry off.

Comment by shamer:
Thanks, MM - Yes, the intention of the image was the coal miner at home after a long day/night's work, possibly at the turn of the century with no power or just too poor to pay the bill...

Easy there Pineapple. To me, the nice candle holder indicates that this miner was at home . Still, I understand about the safety lamps thing.

Lovely color. It is a hue I don't often see.

Comment by pineapple:
Safety lamps are de rigeur in mines - especially soft rock methane bearing mines. So, as far as I am aware, this is an inaccurate title. The image is OK though. 7.
