Possibly you're missing the fact that it is quite clearly dark out and that at the end of the tunnel there is, except for the light dangling from near the end of the tunnel, a big, dark square.
That is absolutely enough to keep me happy. Two of my three main criteria met. The other is to say a bit about the author of the image - in this case,I am trapped in a cage which, in my case is this city that I hate.
I absolutely disagree. I believe that the street lights provide further visual information which is essential to both the composition and the meaning of the image. Without them, the image is dark on one side and unbalanced. It also helps to provide the context of an urban setting at night.
I'm pretty happy with my image this month. I wanted to produce a bold image which stood out, and I'm pretty confident that I have done.
I like it. If I can just say one thing in the spirit of constructive C&C, what doesn't come across is that it's an unhappy photo about feeling trapped. One of the reasons why, I think, is that the colours in the photo are actually so bright and wonderful - turquoise and yellow. I wonder if you put it into black and white whether it would look altogether more sombre and dark?
