I really like this picture. It has that certain mysterious element that I like. It seems like something out of a horror movie and I keep expecting a bad guy or a demonic monster to pop out of those dark and mysterious shadows. I also think the way the lights are situated adds that element too, as if they will burn out at a moments notice.
The one thing that bothers me though is how the room, space, whatever you may call it, is so... empty. There could have been a stray black car or a roaming wild animal to add to the mysterious effect. I am not sure whether this is a real photograph or not (it looks real) but the space is too empty.
Other than that matter, the rest is really good and I feel this piece reflects creativity and has that mysterious/creepy impact that I believe you were going for.

This is a striking piece. The straight symmetrical lines and glossy orange give this photography a still yet entrancing mood. I particularly love the way the angle that the photo has taken give the scene a wide open feeling which is pulled back subtly by the heavy shadows near the top of the image. The glossy finish to the orange pillars also give the piece a very modern feel. I think the intensity of the contrast could have been a little less intense or perhaps the colour saturation could be toned down a little. But that could just be my love or muted colours clouding my judgement. Overall the intense colours and the almost perfectly symmetrical angles create and eye-catching image that stands out.

I have been meaning to write more critiques to those who I think deserve it. I have not written one in quite some time, and so, I thought I need to start somewhere. So, mine me, I might be a little rusty.
First up, I gave you 3 stars on vision. Everything looks well from a first glance, you have an interesting colour pallet going on, I love the grey and striking orange, the lighting is great and overall the photograph is quite crisp. I see no lights blown out or shadows that are too dark. The photograph is also nice a straight and lined up, as I have seen a lot of photographers forget about whether or not the photograph is straight. The textures are where I feel they need to be and not distracting.
Although, what is distracting is the blue escalator on the left hand side, the what it looks like to be a driveway at the back, right of the centre pillar, the orange pillar that is not symmetrical with the rest of the pillars on the right between the second and third pillar, and that the walls are not as symmetrical as the rest of the photograph. The first pillar on the left hand side also looks sharper than the one on the far right, as the one on the right looks somewhat odd.
I gave you 2.5 stars on originality, as I have seen this before. The only aspects that strike me with this one are its colours.
I have given you 3.5 stars for technique as I feel this is your strongest point, you have spent time witch what you have seen. I can see you stood and thought about what you were about to photograph, as you took many things into consideration such as keep it all clean and straight to serve the composition well. As I said before, there are no blown lights, which is something I see all too often.
I have given you 3.5 stars for the impact of this photograph, as it is indeed striking and the first things I see are is the colour and the overall depth of the image. Although, take note, this could be due to the fact that I am a person who sees in colour and light.
Overall, I enjoyed this photograph for what you saw.

I like this piece, i like the colours of it i like the emptiness of the space and how symmetrical it is. I think the single light before you get to the pillar is a bit detracting i think the image would have been better if you got closer to the first pillar and could see more detail in that whilst cutting out the single light up top. I also think that the dark spaces to the left and right behind the pillars could be darkened a little. Overall i like the photo though i feel that a larger version to see more details would be better.
Critique #1 of my 365day project.

Okay, so, this piece is amazing. The contrast is fantastic. The orange colours really seem to pop out in this. The lights are helping the orange pop. Underground tunnel was a very good idea. The only thing though I could say is if you have photoshop get rid of the blue, and what seems like a mirror at the end(?) would completely finish the picture. If it were bigger too, the whole image would be astounding to look at. The floors seemed to have nice detail and would of been nice to look at maybe. Do all that and you are instant pro. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="

I think everyone can agree that the bright orange contrast with the dark, neutral background is a major source of impact and I love it. I think removing the upper inch (at maximum display) could help to focus on the image, but maybe there is something you were going for I did not figure out. However, I am going to have to disagree with Awgoobawgoobaw on this one, though I still respect her/his opinion. In what I disagree is that this works BECAUSE it is so symmetrical. And yet, it is not quite so. That little bit of purple on the left side; the bronze rectangle on the right side of the middle column; and even the darker (perhaps a missing tile) near center all show it is not exactly symmetrical. There are few things more human than to seek something perfectly symmetrical. This idea that things should look symmetrical is a human ideal and the fact that there are those few elements that make this less than perfectly symmetrical remind us of that never-ending pursuit of what is symmetrical; which is all too human as well. The symmetry ideal and the pursuit thereof ARE the human elements. Well done.

reminds me of something id see in a tarkovsky film the light and the orange and that glossy unglossy black textures, it has a really heavy atmosphere, which if you werent going for might be a flaw... i really like it alot though im not sure how much luck youl have of finding another such perfect subject to photograph, even the missing tile and other tiny unsymmetrical details make it better. so really i dont have really anything negative to say about it, if i was a photographer id definitely hold future photos to this standard . soo yeah unless you dont like it its pretty legit!!

Dear Tom mack,
Hi. I'll follow you on facebook. Please follow me at facebook.com/OHMAHN.
Thank you for this post. It's amazing to see. The only thing about this piece
is the fact that it's so perfect in symmetry that one might thing that it's
not real and a 3D CG environment. It needs a human element without having
a human in it. A human in this might ruin in it. Try to think of what is written
here -- as a -- imagine two peopl skateboarding, to make it humble with a simple
activity to show a person finding freedom. There are ways to improve the interactive quality to this piece.All in all. I like the impact. Keep the intensity and
your eye for color. "Make it subtle for it to work" comes to mind in terms of adding
an interactive quality to a piece such as ths. Have a good day.
Ratings are relative with whether this piece 'works.' ^_^. >e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Beautifully shot with perfect lighting. So moody and evocative!
Great composition too, I love that the topmost light wasn't cropped - the concentric circles add a great balance to the rest of the strong lines.

I like symmetry. And this reads as a portent for something scary. It's the beginning of a great horror or terror tale. Great shot.

DAs ist ne U-Bahn-Station?! Gibt's denn sowas? Total cooles Bild!

das ist sogar nur nen Fußgängerdurchgang, die dazugehörige U-Bahnlinie wurde nie gebaut

Looks great. Reminds me of one of the settings in the film "Hanna", which partially took place in Berlin, Germany if I recall correctly.

Hey hi! Ich habe diese Station schon gesehen. Wie hast du dann das Bild gemacht? War die Station ganz leer?? Oder war es spât in der Nacht? Na, ich liebe die Symmetrie. Coole Arbeit, tolles Bild!

Ich war nachmittags/abends da und es war gerade keine große Messe. Langzeitbelichtungen lassen dann den Rest verschwinden
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hi. Ach so OK. Keine grosse Messe kann ich verstehen, aber ich wusste nicht dass es möglich war, die Leute nicht mehr zu sehen, wenn man eine langzeitbelichtung hatte. Klingt logisch. Ich habe etwas gelernt. Danke und mach's gut!

I like the minimalism of the space and the depth of the perspective.. the color orange gives a dinamism to the space.
Mostly I like the light element. I wonder what this tunnel links. Subway, Station..

it was supposed to be a subway station but the line got canceled. now it is just an underground passage

ohh, such a shame.. Thank for Info..

As an architectural piece, I love it. I think the only thing to be wary of is how much more the lighting is emphasized over the pillars. The contrast makes it impossible to feel washed out however. Very cool.

Ich finde die U-Bahnstationen in Berlin einfach so gut im Vergleich zu New York und Washington
Und das Bild ist TOP
Finde die Belichtung sau gut mit den dunkelen Stellen im Bild!

vielen Dank
in dem Fall ist es keine U-Bahnstation sondern nur ein Durchgang
