Fantastic composition and wonderful colours, the complex structures and surfaces inside this location make the image. The shapes are really emphasised by the reflections, this is what I wanted to see when I created this competition. Congratulations on your placing, hope to see more of your work in future.

Very well deserving of my top 3, I love the grittiness of the image, and the composition utilising the leading lines of the walls and the cables leading into the mine is fantastic. It creates a real sense of place, and would love to explore further into the mine. Congratulations on your placing, good luck for future work.

Brilliant image, the execution of the image is very good. Very deserving of it's placing, it has a feeling of a Hollywood film and shows an alternative side to the subterranean brief. Congratulations on your placing, keep up the great work.

Brief

See more contest details

We are naturally surface dwelling creatures, we exist in our open air world with the earth's atmosphere surrounding us and space as our ceiling. But there is a world which is rarely given much thought, almost always out of sight and, by many, unexplored. This is the subterranean world beneath our feet: caves, caverns, mines, sewers, tunnels, basements, crevasses, bunkers... these are just a few of the things you should consider in this brief. Let's see how you can portray the world which is subterranean, but let's make it interesting - NO subway or tube stations, lets make the unseen visible. Good luck.
