Nothing about this really pops for me, I don't find it particularly interesting or imaginative. I think a different POV would add some nice uniqueness to it.

Interesting scene. Quite deep indeed.

Your black and white conversion could use more contrast.
03/16/2009 11:18:28 AM
Good shot but a bit to plain for me.
03/16/2009 06:33:03 AM
see this is the thing, there is space and it might be deep but its not taken so ... then it doesnt looks deep... its actually flat.
its grey ( I suggest to play with contrast) and well. that might do it.. but not this.. just three from me , sorry ;D


take care

actually kind of bland- not enough contrast
03/15/2009 04:15:55 PM
Reminds me of my high school.
03/15/2009 11:04:37 AM
The barrel distortion is aggravating; I like the b/w tones.
03/15/2009 05:53:50 AM
I think a tighter crop would have added to the effect, the bright area on the left is a bit of a distraction jmo
03/15/2009 04:44:10 AM
I think this photo would have worked better had you cropped out the wall with the chair and the wall with the radiator...focusing completely on the length dow the corridor. Also more contrast brightness.

Don't take this the wrong way but as I see DPC as a learning experience here is my frank critique:

This comes across as a snapshot. By that I mean that I feel that anybody standing where you were with a camera could have gone click and got this result. I think a photographer should aim to do more than that. I may be wrong and perhaps you do have more of a story to your shot but the fact is that it doesn't come across to the viewer.

As an example, if you were in Paris and saw the Eiffel Tower you could hold the camera and go click. You'd have a shot that millions of other tourists have and would be good as a record of your holiday. I think at DPC you need more than that. You need to consider the POV - make it something that enhances the tower (include a flowerbed or kissing couple in the foreground), make use of lighting (dusk for shadows), composition (maybe include the buildings beside it to get a sense of scale).

I hope this helps and please don't be offended, I'm only offering an opinion.

This might have more interest if it were straightened up. The B&W looks a bit flat.
03/14/2009 08:24:42 AM
Subject is rather bland. The monochrome conversion feels really gray and lacking in the darker blacks.
03/14/2009 07:18:45 AM
Interesting concept. I like the added sterility of the B&W effect.
03/14/2009 07:12:00 AM
Needs a stronger focal point. The geometry alone isn't that strong. Also needs more contrast.
03/14/2009 05:35:14 AM
a little flat in processing here
03/13/2009 11:16:35 PM
Great symmetry and the way you lead deep into the shot
03/13/2009 08:06:42 PM
Painful photo. Reminds me of my old high school, not a very happy time for me.
03/13/2009 07:09:30 PM
lord this looks like my high school...a bit dull and flat in tone
03/13/2009 12:06:12 PM
There's really nothing here to interest me... I'm sorry. Also, it could use some more contrast, I think. The composition is good, but boring. I'm really sorry.

Not voting yet.
03/13/2009 11:51:20 AM
I feel that a little more contrast would benefit this photo.
03/13/2009 10:40:31 AM
Nice perspective and symmetry in this photo, but a bit more contrast in the greys wouldn't hurt I think.
03/13/2009 10:38:30 AM
Great DOF! 7
03/13/2009 10:36:24 AM
deeply uninteresting.. lopsided, tones are flat..
03/13/2009 09:59:06 AM
it's a good example of lines converging at a vanishing point, and that chair over there to the left makes me wonder about who might sit there, and how that person might hassle or benefit anyone walking by. maybe a slight CCW rotation would straighten everything out?
03/13/2009 07:22:44 AM
a little bland , sorry
03/13/2009 07:11:38 AM
unusual perspective.
03/13/2009 06:36:30 AM
too grey, not enough interest to hold the eye. i would enhance contrast and rotated the image a bit to the left, maybe even a tighter crop would work.
03/13/2009 05:24:12 AM
interesting vanishing perspective
03/13/2009 03:56:20 AM
I like how the ceiling lights illuminate the floor and create a walkway.
03/12/2009 11:26:20 PM
great depth - a bit borring nevertheless
03/12/2009 09:25:50 PM
Oh the long halls, looks like my high school. Interesting use of black and white to create depth.
03/12/2009 08:38:00 PM
Perfect exposure. I like the way hallway is leading you all the way in, great compostion.
03/12/2009 02:40:23 PM
I do feel the depth here, but the lighting is too flat for my preference. I'd also prefer that the captured horizon be level.
03/12/2009 12:30:41 PM
good composition, but the b&w looks a little flat, a bit more contrast would help.
03/12/2009 11:08:15 AM
I think a more contrasted treatment to the B&W would have made a more dramatic shot. Also, it's a good idea to keep an eye for the horizon.
03/12/2009 10:14:36 AM
i wonder why schools almost always look alike. I would almost wager this one smells like my HS. :P Good use of leading lines, but it feels a bit tilted to the right, and is a bit muted/flat -- maybe needs a boost in contrast.
03/12/2009 09:02:47 AM
this would have been better if someone or something was in it; also, it seems underlit to me
03/12/2009 07:13:39 AM
I wish the horizon line was straight.
03/12/2009 02:47:08 AM
It is,...but not very inspiring for this challenge.
03/11/2009 04:46:08 PM
Interesting idea. IMO, a crop with just the hallway would be more effective - the radiator on the right, sun spot and chair on left, and sprinkler on ceiling are distracting.
03/11/2009 04:01:00 PM
Might have tried straightening the horizon a bit better and maybe a balanced crop (same space on both sides). I like the lines which lead us down the middle.
03/11/2009 10:20:24 AM
a hallway. nothing more. dull, grey, uninteesting. doesn't convey a message (if there is one)
03/11/2009 07:52:40 AM
Nice photo i like the depth put into it
03/11/2009 06:48:28 AM
Should've straightened it out a bit
03/11/2009 06:36:50 AM
Sorry but this is boring to me. No real story and the tones are bland. One person in the hall would have made a bit of difference and some editing was needed to boost the tones.
03/11/2009 06:03:22 AM
needs more contrast
03/11/2009 05:23:45 AM
Nice to see the lamps reflecting on the floor. I think this photo could use a little more contrast.
03/11/2009 05:05:43 AM
I'm sorry, I don't understand. And the title doesn't help me understand. What's deep?
03/11/2009 04:06:09 AM
too much lopsided not really very interesting
03/11/2009 03:41:22 AM
does convey the title well
03/11/2009 12:43:34 AM
Reminds me of the "Get Smart" intro :)
03/10/2009 10:39:16 PM
I like how the light strip is reflected on the floor.
