Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club

First Impression: At first glance this is a little boring although the shadows and textures work well, quite interesting but nothing that captures my eye.

Composition:Reading your notes you didn't actually make a tunnel or cave however that doesn't bother me too much as your shot leads me into what 'could' be a tunnel, the oof focus right hand stone helps the overal depth of the image for me.

Subject: Whilst I see a tunnel I don't feel as if I'm entering a tunnel if you see what I mean? Yes, you took time to construct something just for the challenge and thats always good in my books, its just that it seems to missing the main focal point.

Technical:Love the colours, a great dof of field and shadows though some of the lighter areas are a little overexposed.

Final thoughts: Overall I think this was worth more than its 4.9 and slipping over a 5 would have been about right for me. A decent shot that lacks any WOW, I wonder what it would have looked like from a lower angle?

I like the use of the shallow DOF and the lighting is interesting, but the actual subject seems to leave me wanting to see something more.

I like the tone of the image and the lighting, although it seems to lack a focal point

Way to get creative when you can't get the real thing. Good job.

Ohh I like this. Simple but the shadows really pull you in makes you want to lean and try to look around the bend!
