This is not a bad photo, although its not great.

I think you want the viewer to look and get focused on the cool lighting in the tunnel. At least I want to look at that tunnel. The road leads you there. But the tree's do not. They are very much of distraction in this shot. Try next time thinking about different angles/views/ (ie overall composition) that try to lead the view to your subject. Or at least compliment the subject.

These are the hardest comments to make, because its not about your lighting or post-processing (actually I think you did those really well here) but your overall composition of the shot. Unfortunately, that makes going out and taking another shot.

Hope this helps some!

I think this shot deserved a higher rating than it got. It really should not have been in the last 100. The one thing that I would say is that the sky is a little blown out. Some clouds would help break it up so its not so white or a tad less on the exposure side would have helped a bit. I'll email you what I did to change the photo. All I did was crop it a bit and change the saturation.

neat concept - good job avoiding blowing out the illuminated tunnel - i just wish the sky was more interesting

nice title. I think the shot could be more effective with some cropping but, that is just my personal opinion

Maybe focusing more on the tunnel would have helped this one even more..

Looks like something crashed in there. Other than that I think it's a little blurry.

Good control of the tones.

This photo says two things to me. 1) it should be 'light at the beginning of the tunnel or 2) God took this picture

Is this a long exposure? The lights inside seem brighter than they should be during the day. Interesting shot.
