    I think you got it pretty close. Nice. I actually find the EXIT sign a little distracting for that eerie look. Can you make it darker or something? I feel like it's too bright for the scene. That's my

    I agree with Iggy about the exit sign but I love the perspective you have going on Gem!

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I thought the bright lights might detract from it, but I guess they're okay? Aw, the exit sign isn't working? My friend was saying the same thing but I was adament that it was! Lol, I saw it as a "small hope" to escape from 'eerie' hallway

    I agree with Iguanasan. I would make the sign also black and white and add a bit more contrast.

    GREAT job on this eerie hallway Gem I agree with darkening the exit sign, or making it black and white. It's not that bothersome to me and it does work with the scene on some level as you suggested. It's just that the hallway is way more interesting than the sign but because it is coloured, it steals our attention for too long. Desaturating the colour will make it add to the scene instead of stealing it.

    I agree. I'd SO love to see a shadowy figure at the end of the hallway.

    I was pondering this when you first posted the image and I think desaturating the color would make the photo much stronger as well. Cool photo!

    Thanks everyone.

    Guess the colour is a bit strong, eh? Looks I'll desaturate then. Ha, I always found this hallway intriguing whenever I'm at my brother's apartment.
