Brilliant B&W portrait! Composition and lighting is spot on. Just out of curiousity, how did you manage the noise issue at ISO 1600?

great composition...i like the concentric rings of light that extend town the tunnel...great DOF choice...i am surprised that this was shot at ISO 1600...it doesnt even look grainy...however i prefer grain in b&w photos...peace***

Just superb Martin!

The light circles are like the music echoing down the corridor. Fantastic place and very well seen. The mood here is very strong and wonderful. The acoustics must be incredible. A great B&W image!!! Thanks!

Peace and Love to you always!

hi martin
this is superb, great light and sharpness, and remarkably clear considering 1600 iso. i bet that sax sounds good echoing through the tunnels.
sean

I love the pov Martin. I may have cloned out the two people at the end of the tunnel, not sure. Well done. B

This is a real beauty Martin...everything fits well in the composition...my compliments.

Excellent shot! Very well composed! I like the light vortex that you captured here as well as the pose of the musician! A very nice urban cliché! Michel

In a tunnel like that, i suppose the sound is shurely special. Good or bad, i don't know... But different i'm shure!
For the photo i consider it, excellent. I enjoy that evocative view! THe atmosphere is very well showed!

Hi Martin!
Very good shot!
men seems like an object in that deep tunnel!
and i like the shadows of the light!
regards..
zey :)

Hi Martin, this tunnel is a scrary place! Sometimes you walk down this long long tube and the only thing you listning at is the sound of your lonely step...brrr.
Very good job.
TFS.
Steph.

With 1600 iso and no grain? Oh sorry Its 20D. thanks letting us know the camera better :7
Great composition and B&W is perfect choice. I like the lights giving a nice depth to shot. Congrats, very good shot!

This is definitelly a pro-shot in all regards. Those concentric circles of light are fantastic addition to the mood. I like how you have avoided the centering of character and tunel. Great shot. Bravo.

Alban

Love the composition and the light. The concentric circles are the strong point. The two people in the background remove some of the sense of solitude that this picture brings to me. Still, a powerful shot!

Great perspective shot. Good composition, lighting and choice of black and white. The busker adds a great human element. My type of photography which I like. Well done Martin.

A buster. A stonker. A cracker.
The position, both in the frame and the pose, of the sax player is nearing god-like. The people in the far distance are a super little touch!
The lighting - pah! Stunning! 10/10 even though you have a white frame. Note to self: Must get over this white frame allergy.

Thoroughly impressed with this wonderful b&w. Big slap on the back mate!

Excelent shot, the blck and white offred more serenity to the scene.

I like the B&W treatment on this image, could ear the reverberation of the sound.

I also like the way we navigate from the musician to the people at the end of the tunnel.

Well done

Jean
