Bu it isn't! There's a man over there! Nice shot with good tones and atmosphere. Still not deserted though - I know, I know - he's in the process of deserting.. ;)

I like this, good composition. Seems a bit grainy though.

Great angle and interesting idea. However, I find the florecent tubes to be very tacky. However, I can also see that the brightness works, but it's the light... Perhaps a little further into the tunnel also to cut out the overhead light and going for the "darkness".

I like this very much. Nice leading lines and curves, strong composition and I like the posterized feel of it - the high contrast and starkness.

beautifully composed shot. i like the inclusion of the person. the border is a bit overpowering though.

Niagra. Wasn't desolate when I was there. Good photo, anyway

Great perspective!

I'd remove the black border. having such an abrupt end to the white brick walls fights the feeling of a long, desolate hallway.

I have been trying to get a photo similar to this for a while, I never have found the right place. Thanks for giving me a 'feel' of how it might look. Good job on the photo, its great! - 10

I like the composition. The lines and shading of the tunnel draws the eyes to your focal point.
