 I was racking my brain trying to come up with an idea for this weeks challenge. I thought this shot under an overpass off I-80 was fun.

Nice take and well positioned in the frame.

Good idea, but needed a better exposure, some more light in the tunnel and less outside. some fill flash, or HDR, something making us feel not only the tunnel darkness, but its texture.

Nice idea.

The abrupt transition from dark to light is jarring and the rather washed out color is not a positive from an artistic standpoint. This image might have worked better if a closer look at the entrance was used and the image exposed for color rather than the overly broad dark space. In camera light meters, in particular when in AE/AF mode don't work well in these conditions if spot metering is used. One way to avoid this issue would have been to meter the light in the opposite direction from the entrance, then set the camera to those criteria and move back into position to capture the image.

Great idea and really good composition. However, i feel the subject is overexposed. Always hard to expose correctly with all this black areas, but I think the square is too light, and could easily have been darker and still given the overall effect you were after, and presented better colours and scene
