Over-all I really like this photo, but I think a few tweaks would really improve it's impact:

Your light parts are a bit over-exsposed, and your shadows under-developed, and it looks like you may have used the contrast tool quite a bit judging from the depth of shadow and the amount of noise visible. I think that if you converted this as-is to b/w it would be simply stunning.

The lighting is lovely in this. The light hitting the columns seems to meet the light hitting the floor into some kind of sideways vanishing point. The shadows of faces in this are also a nice touch. On another hand, this almost seems a little too contrasty to me. That could just be me, though.

yes I like it! but I know you don't care for those sort of comments, so allow me to elaborate:

I like -
- I like the angle of the photograph. I like the lighting of the photograph. and I've actually only just realised how far back it stretches! I like the sign and the person walking and also the rays of light coming through! :)

Improvements -
- For me, the only adjustment I would make is by cropping out the bit to the very left of the picture. For me, that hint of blue and red and the brickwork at the end ruins just a little.

[but overall very good] :D

Okay, of all your photographies this one is definitely my favourite. I really like the setting, it conveys a certain feeling of calmness. Could it be, that this is in London? Reminds me of Covent Garden. Well,anyway, I think the contrast of lights and shadows is captured very well, although the lamps look a bit overexposed. I assume it was taken around midday or early afternoon? (The light looks very bright and the shadows are still short)

If you ever get the chance to go there again on a sunny day, try to capture the same setting in a late afternoon light. I think this might even enhance the effect you achieved with this one, because the lighting will be softer and the single rays longer.

There are two other, albeit minor, details I noticed, which might enhance the effect of your picture: On the left margin you can see the background with some red and blue something there. It is a bit diverting, I think and maybe cropping it away would be benefiting. Also right on the base of the first column, there is a shadow (the head of a person?) which also kind of disturbs the overall steady linearity of the light/shadow contrast lines. All other columns don't have shadows in this spot, so removing the shadow might also benefit the clarity of your image. But as I've already said: Minor details. They can't ruin an overall good picture.

I know I'm picky - so feel free to be picky with my works now. ;-)

i love the corridors of light slipping into the shadows, nice contrast. i dont know if its intentional but i like the faces in the shadows...gives in a mysterious feel..however if i have one constructive criticism it the blue and red sign, just the slither of it, draws the eye. :)
