Tunnel into the head(s)

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

A few tunnel pics taken last Saturday at the North Fort Artillery Museum (located at North Head Sydney Harbour). Thanks Geoff for organising the meet.

This first one reminds me of the old Quake games for some reason:

Typically amazing colour Peter - and well worth the wait ;)

Not sure about the angles on the 1st, and the movement in the 2nd is a little overdone (would like to have seen this with a little less movement, the concept is good, but to me it isn't quite there). The 3rd one is great though, just lovely :)

Peter,

looks like a great time was had :D We'll have to invite those southerners to Fort Scratchleys. It has some guns :wink: :wink:

Same for me on the second one, just a bit too much movement.

Last one is great, nice colours, leading lines, stairs that the end.

Cheers,

André

Hi Peter,

the second photo:
I like it very much, it not only shows the movement of the person pictured but I assume the movement of the photographer following that person ???
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I still think it is a great photo, No1 and No3 are nice however No 2 is special.

Cheers,
CD

Thanks all for your comments.

#2 was taken while both I and the guide were walking along the tunnel at a normal walking speed (quite a challenge for the 10.5 FE lens and an even bigger challenge for my shaky old hands!). Here's another one and an alternate PP On #1:
