Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club.
This is much easier to comment on post challenge than it would have been whilst voting was ongoing, why? because if this image was created intentionally then it could be deemed 'Art' but if it was taken as a 'serious' attempt at getting a sharp image and submitted for a laugh or an attempt at the brown then it fails to impress. That little statement could open up an entire debate as to when/how people see 'Art' and I'm sure everybody would be right as 'Art' is subjective, its just that I would prefer to know that what I'm looking at is a serious image (or am I falling for The Emperor's New Clothes ruse lol)
First Impression: I saw the eye in the thumbnail and was pleasantly suprised when I opened up the full size image. Its quite compelling when viewed for more than a moment and can imagine 'real' Critics extolling their wisdom whilst explaining the meaning behind this.
Composition: My initial thought was this would hold up well as a central image however you are probably drawn into the centre of the eye with this composition, all those converging lines are great.
Subject: Yup, its a tunnel so fits the challenge well, its also an eye so you can add 'tunnel vision'. Sadly DPC are not quite ready or willing to accept this sort of photography so I commend you for keeping up the good work.
Technical: Not an image to be technically critiqued as this has nothing to do with 'how' you shot it but the 'why' and 'what', its something to view without thinking about light, sharpness, grain, focus or other elements that tend to make up a more acceptable image.
Final thoughts: I'm so glad I drew another of your images for critique as they really are worth viewing for longer than the 2-5 seconds I'm sure most people spend on the average submission. You need to flip the image horizontally cos  skewsme is driving on the wrong side of the road! Keep them coming Don and give yourself a posthumous ribbon for this. |

| You missed the brown by making it interesting to some people. I gave it a 7. Sorry to have kept you from a ribbon. |

| This will probably get killed in voting, but I like this semi abstract approach. It draws me in a and gives me a sense of intense activity. |

| 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 |

| 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. |

| Very graphic, like a page from a comic book. |

| The arty feel of this image gives this tunnel a quality lacking in many other similar shots. Nicely done. |
