I would appreciate any comments on the attached image. I am particularly interested in comments on composition and any suggestions regarding improvements.
Thank you.

You need to read the Critique Forum rules - ie asking a specific question (which you have) and supplying th EXIF data so others can see your camera and lens settings in order to assist you better.

As for your photo I think it's a marvelous composition, but your whites on the ground and background wall seem a little blown out (overexposed) and the the bright oval light on the floor near the opening of the 'tunnel' could be cloned out as it is a little distracting. Someone with more experience may offer more or something different, but that's my 2 cents worth. Very nice shot!

Hello,
I"m not a pro and i just join the site today. This are my comments on your photo:
Its a nice photo but i was destructed on the light on the floor and at the right side of the wall.
I agree with Bruce A, cloning must be done to cover the lights.The background is a pleasant view but some points where overexposed.you can burn a bit those areas so it will lessen the exposure Or by selecting it and do the curves,exposure adjustment or brightness and contrast.
I love to see this more if the tunnel is more narrow and the end point was the pleasant bench.
I like also to remove the tube/pipe in there.
hope this helps.

I will echo the previous comments. I like the composition, but overexposed back wall and that bright circle on the ground are areas that can be touched up.

Thank you for your comments.
Re Exif data. Since the link to the image is via Flckr the exif data is available by clickking the "Camera Type" link which I assumed was OK. Do I need to copy this data and include in the post as well.

Thank you for your help

It's always better to supply the image, pertinent questions and embed the image especially since you have flickr account. Click on the photograph in flickr to get the single view, click the little arrow next to the twitter emblem, a drop down box will appear for the code to copy and paste into your post. Some people are a little lazy to go searching for the info and photograph.

Yes, the easier you make it for the viewers, the more likely you are to get feedback.
