well I cannot give a cc directly on color or things of that nature because my monitor is bad. However I am not seeing the old in this. I wonder if the crop was a little tighter if this would be a stronger image? Maybe taking off the bottom more than the top in order to get the feeling of a large room? Just some thoughts.
That came out awesomely. I think that the large amount of empty black space around is contributes to the tension of the photo, really bringing out the "light at the end of the tunnel" kind of feeling.
If I stare really hard, I can see some of the columns in the darkness here. I can readily make out the old style to the arch. Perhaps my monitor is a bit darker than yours, but I think just a hint more of the area where they are leaving would help and not hurt the focus toward the exit.
Like I said, it may be my monitor, since I can see the columns if I look really hard for detail in the darkness.
This strikes me as yet another example of how a caption can drag down a photo:
This is a strong image. But I'm spending much too much mental energy trying to figure out the caption. Yes, I see the architectural detail around the opening, but why is that old? Where is this? I have not a clue. On the other hand, I love the photograph of the people striding out of the dark through the arch toward the glass structures.
Oh, I'd give the image a crop all the way around. Yes, you want them coming out of the dark into the light, but I think you want a little less dark in proportion to the light.
This shot was indeed taken at the Louvre in Paris, France. Some of you may know the Louvre and the glass pyramid from the movie 'The Da Vinci Code'. This was shot from the side (Rue de Rivoli) towards the pyramid. You actually see a small pyramid in front of the big one.
This image is a strong image for me. Personally, I don't like to title photos, but posting it here meant I needed a title, and the current title was something that seemed fitting, and wasn't something like "light at the end of the tunnel"
The title may be stronger to me (and Schmoo, and maybe SKnight) since I know where it was taken.
I'm open to other suggestions
As far as the crop; I've not found a crop that I thought was stronger, personally. Also, because this is 'different'. Especially the tighter crops looked like "just another silhouette shot".

I do agree if the interior was brighter it would help a lot, but overall it's pretty good.

Perhaps a title more from the dark ages to the light of modern art?
