I can't tell you how many times I have been on work travel and felt just like this picture shows. Very good capture of a long hard and perhaps tedious day of work just to come back to an empty hotel room.

I didn't notice the vignetting until I just read nikolaos' comment. What I did notice was a darkness surrounding the mood depicted by the photo.

Man I hate passageways like this. they make me feel vulnerable instead of protected. My first impression was, man that's a long way down there. The slats down the right side and across the top make an interesting texture here. Hey and there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Yeah, cloning out that blown area would be good.....I'd maybe take out that wall on the left as well.

Comment by NikonJeb:
This is a really great image. It's quite emotive and subduing. Good use of the whole room to help convey the loneliness....love that reflection/shadow, too.

Tee hee. . .I was just about to make the exact same comment 777Stan did! I have leading lines on my brain -- and I'm thinking you must have something pretty darn cool for the challenge if you posted this one here.

I like it!

Kinda looks like one of those walkways at airports where everything is always under construction, although I suspect it's one of the temporary sidewalk structures they put up for road construction. Overall mood is on the dreary side.

I thing the vignetting does not add anything, other than that I think it portrays wonderfully an inner self. Great picture.

Lovely portrait and very good constrast. I don't mind the top right, but the easiest way to remove it is to crop it , and a little from the left to remove the leading black would make a greater composition.

Cool tunnel vision here. The wet cement on the ground with the white walls makes this a great b/w.
