Well, they were... until they broke free like that. Wonder where they are now? Maybe they all banded together and started pillaging, like in those Capital One commercials! Nah, they're not from the dark ages... they're from the Internet age, where they're solitary by choice...

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: First reaction - look at the depth! I've then noticed your title and I begin to realise this is an old prison and a big one too; that realisation make the image even more interesting. I'm not normally a fan of portrait orientations, you'll find very few in my portfolio, but what a good choice it was for this image. The monochrome conversion is very well done and I really pleased you have chosen to not give us deep shadows - being able to see detail in all of the scene is key to its success.

Critical stuff: Nothing really

Overall: A fine image, which has been well served by your editing choices.

Interesting image. Looks like a very old prison(?) I like the composition of being lead down the middle to the end of the long corridor. I think it looks "balanced on both the right and left with the stairs on the right countered with the open cell door on the left. Like the choice of B&W to enhance the abandoned "dreary" feel to the image.
