  •  Support Excellent artistic photo Cmao20 (talk) 08:06, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I expect this is a tunnel for skiers to use in the winter. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:03, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Very standard image one gets if photographing at the entrance of a tunnel. Just a photo of a friend with backpack on a walk, like anyone might take, and turning it b&w doesn't make it artistic. Compare File:SMP May 2008-9a.jpg and File:The Photographer.jpg where the silhouette is worth capturing. -- Colin (talk) 09:25, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I agree with Colin.--Ermell (talk) 21:50, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Well, as the title says, during winter this is a tunnel for pedestrians passing under the skiing slope (Dreiseenbahn 1), located in Tyrolean Kühtai. Same way, as the photographer of the cited marvellous pictures was fascinated by the contrast of the black and white areas, I was caught by the contrast of the concentric rings of the metal tube focusing my view on the person and the end of the tunnel leading her/us into the invisible world outside. --PtrQs (talk) 00:12, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support This is one of the rather rare occasions where I'll have to disagree with Colin. In my opinion, this one fits in very well with the other two examples, while still being different enough to stand out. While the other ones focus a lot on the entries and/or exits of the tunnels, the landscape orientation and structured walls in this one put much stronger emphasis on the tunnel itself. The Photographer is about to step into the light. You're just observing, this is not about you. The joggers have already made it to the other side, while you're not even inside yet. You have no clue what they've gone though. But this one puts you right in the darkest part and while you can see the light, there's still a long way to go. The person a few steps ahead of you seems to say "come on, let's go", ready to take your hand and venture into the unknown. Or maybe from over there they can already see something you can't? The silhouette itself may not be as interesting as the one in "The Photographer", but I find the backpack very fitting. One of the strongest symbolic images I've seen here for a while. --El Grafo (talk) 08:12, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. One of the things that really struck me and appealed to me about this photo is precisely that you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but that's all you can see past the tunnel, and it can represent many things. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:10, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, yes, lots of things to discover in there - or in yourself, while looking at it. Here's a more fun one: James Bond gun barrel sequence. It's my desktop wallpaper now, which is noteworthy because I usually just use a plain calm color fill. El Grafo (talk) 10:51, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
