The piece in its entirety is its cynosure: it does not guide the eye, but allows it to guide itself....

A very chilling atmosphere, like the setting of the film Aliens or any other well done Science Fiction thriller. The lighting is just fantastic; bright in places so as to cast eerie shadows, but it is also dark in others, allowing the mind to wander, the imagination to wonder and the eyes to play tricks... what goes bump in here, in this dark place? It gives that feeling that something untoward or gruesome, misshapen and terrifying may come quickly (i didn't want to say "jump" or "pop") from around the corner of one of the machines. Or it may instead reach down some horrible, mutated hand or inhuman claw from one of the exposed air vents. I love pieces like this; ones that allow the mind to fill in the blanks, that sends shivers up and down the spine, that plays tricks on the mind.

It is the most excellent execution of technique that allowed for this. The exposure is, to me, perfect. It allows for just the right amount of light, just the right amount of visibility to still allow for unseen movements. The focus seems, again to me, perfect. There is no forced perspective, no one focal point; for an f-stop of 2.8, all things are amazingly clear and crisp. Everything is in focus, there is no one area that screams, "Here! Here I am, look here. I am the centre, the core, the nucleus of it all." The viewer's eyes are thus allowed to wander across the piece, to search out and try to peer into (and around) corners. Yes, the piece naturally draws you down the centre line of uneven concrete slabs toward the terminus (a brilliant touch) but there is so much to absorb along the way, that it takes time.

I for one really enjoy the colour here, nothing is too brightly coloured or over-saturated; the piece has a subdued and even colouring, a subdued and even quality. I absolutely respect (and envy) the restraint displayed in the editing as a whole; though most especially in not over-colouring or over-saturating certain areas (a definite failing of mine e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Wink)"/>) in an attempt to make up for the monotone of the piece. But I see that monotone colour as one of its strengths... that there is a blending of all things here. That there could very well be some chameleon creature perfectly suited to this environment, just waiting...

"There is no need to worry, nothing to fear, the lights are on... but what happens when the lights go out?"

Really beautiful... although beautiful maybe is a weird word for such industrial environments...
Anyway - it's a great shot. Though it's not the eyecatcher it needs to be. Here's what I would consider:
- I love the cyan shades in the air vent (its great how they seem to hang quite loosely btw), also the red in the switch (?) to the left. Maybe enhance these colors? Also maybe you can make the bright parts a slight bit brighter.
But like I said these would all be efforts to make it more of an eyecatcher. Once I look at it in full as I do now this is pretty perfect.

Thanks Joerg for honest critique! First of all this is great wiht premium account that I can get more words about shots not only like/dislike
Well, I think word 'beauty' fits to industrial themes - for me this is beauty, and you can see how I really enjoy such themes browsing my gallery
I was trying first to make it bw, but when I was trying differnet options with colours I said this time i will not use bw - it is almost like you said heh. Dark areas I think should remain in this level or dark - adding or removing some of it is just different point of view of other persons - hope you know what I mean
Anyway - thanks again!

You're very welcome, it's really a great picture. If you feel like it and have a minute you can write a critique on one of my pieces. I just got a premium account myself (like half an hour ago) and I'm eagerly waiting for my first critique.
cheers, and I'll go have a look at your gallery, I generally love industrial (though I haven't done much yet myself... I don't even really like the only industrial shot I posted yet... hm...)
