(Finally) Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club

First Impression: A rather tenuous title for me though I might have missed the Orchestra bit in this pic? This might never be seen hanging on somebodies wall but the more I view it the more pleasing both the colours and texture are.

Composition:At first the slighty wonky wall bothered me but its a great off centre divider between the tunnel and sign. I like the amount of tunnel, not too much and not too little - just right for me and think you'd have scored higher in the tunnel/cave challenge (even though I much prefer the image you settled on. Everything here fits well.
Subject:

Technical:At F2 you kept the 2 sides of the wall and tunnel in a nice sharp focus and let the foreground blur. Good detail in the tunnel and the overall exposure is spot on for me.

Final thoughts: Well, I like it and guess there is no need to tell you that the majority of voters were not as welcoming.

Love the colors here, and the textures. The sign does appear to be levitated. Perhaps that is the 'magic'. I think it was lost on most voters though. The image is great, I think the voters just didn't connect it well with the challenge.

I see the yellow, of course, but what is the magic part of this?

Nice textures. I might have shown a bit more of the entrance to the tunnel.
