 This is a tunnel under Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. I wasn't necessarily planning on having anyone in the picture, but this guy walking his dogs got into one of the many pictures that I took. I liked how he and the dogs are in silhouette, so I chose to go with this one.

Rotated, cropped, made b&w, levels, burned some areas, cloned out minor distracting elements.

Hello there!
This is ericlimon from the Critique Club!!!

I believe this was a greatly under rated photograph. It clearly shows "implied lines" to me. The angle of the image is terrific, the silloette (sic) is perfect.

I'll do my best to give a critique on this.

First, maybe if the right hand side of the tunnel wasn't cut off by the frame, it would have given an even better showing of the tunnel. (ie: if you could see the entire end of the tunnel) This photo definately works best in BW, I can't even imagine it in color. A faster shutter speed would have helped to stop the blur in the dogs tail, but the blur does not affect the overall quality. There isn't much else to say IMO. This is a terrific photo, and I think it deserved to place ove a 6.

Keep up the good work, hope to see more of your photos placing higher in the future!

Eric

The entry which I find has the strongest implied line -so far.
Good work.

Composition is the stand-out quality for me here. The mood is also very good - with greyscale suiting your subject and atmosphere very well. the background beyond the tunnel is a little dissapointing, but i s'pose there's nothing that can be done about that. all in all, a great shot - 8.
