In France, we say "coupe-gorge"Β (no-go area)Β for this kind of alley, when the darkness comes...

that's a good word for it, this spot was definitely a bit sketchy at night.

I remember thoes allys
When I was little, I used to think the doors were doors to other world
(like in Harry Poter)
Binghamton could be such a pretty place if it was cleaned up

Great combination of elements here,
the texture of the wall
the linear perspective
the interesting rubbish on the ground
the earthy not cold/not hot tertiary brown
very neutral serene, yet powerful piece from that vertical composition of the wall rising at the end of the corridor

Woah, It looks like an alleyway just after Neo and some Agents just went through it. Very surreal. And also very memorable. this is a great shot right here. And yeah, it really reminds me of the matrix in many ways. But that's not the main reason I like this. The color is really catching, and the dark dreariness kinda makes it scary. Whenever I see alleyways like this I always wonder where those doors and windows lead too. What's behind them, and what has happened in those rooms. So I guess it's also just really mysterious [I guess I could have just said that, but why not indulge myself a little]. Great work!

Oh! Great persepective. Love the colour detail from the bricks, makes for a great photo. I think the plastic bag adds to the photograph, although some may say its a little distractive...?

Hope ya win!

"There's a light
In the darkness,
Though the night
Is black as my skin,
There's a light
Burning bright,
Showing me the way;
But I know where I've been." -From "Hairspray"

It fits.... The first thing I thought of when I saw this

Wow! This is amazing work. When I started from the top, I got warm feelings. It seemed really cozy, because of the sun. Upon slowly scrolling down, it began to look darker, creepier. I began to feel boxed in, almost chilled. At the bottom of the alleyway, it was almost frightening. Has a sort of, silent-hill type feeling. As if something might be lurking somewhere and you need to be careful. I think you've done a great job on the effects!

Amazing warm colours. The images is dark and there's a sense of being trapped, but there is also hope coming from the light above. I love the strong perspective.
