I have visited this tunnel so many times and is a little hidden gem of the London Underground, certainly always makes me smile every time I see it.
Well done it getting it empty of people, always like a London Underground photo that is empty of people but this tunnel is generally very busy at most times.
Your framing and symmetry is executed to perfection.
Well done, really like this photo!
Well Done in winning my London Underground Photography Competition! There is so much to like in this photo but your framing is spot on, really brings the curve out of the platform and draws your eye into the photo. The slow shutter you have used gives you a sense of speed within the image and makes you feel you are really there. The cool, dark colours really suit this image and of course the London Underground and also these bring out the that awesome pattern of the platform at Bank Tube Station. That pop of colour of the red line on the side of the Tube Train really works well and contrasts the dark scene of the overall image.
This is one photo to be proud of, a worthy winner, well done!

Big fan of this station and this particular stairway, I know recently they have got rid of these awesome blue tiles in favour of cream ones which I just don't think works as well.
Anyway, I am glad you have captured the charm of the old station and its decor. I actually like the slight twist on the image, makes you feel your falling into the image and the mix between the metallic hand rail and blue tiles is sublime.
Great photo and work! Thank you for entering.
This is certainly an interesting image and well done in getting 2nd place in my competition.
You have executed the image well and the symmetry is spot on and really draws your eye into the photo with the vanishing point of the tunnel in the distance. I am a massive fan of symmetry in photos.
There is something quite unnerving in this photo, reminds me of something out the the horror film 'The Ring'. The darkened outline of the woman sitting on the floor works well with the slightly overexposed rest of the image. I bet you got some funny looks when you were composing this image!
Excellent image!

Wow you had to get low and close to the Tube train to get this image.
Really like the perceptive here, makes you think this is probably what a mouse would see overtime a tube train arrives into a station.
The yellow lines really draw you into the image and the fact you can just make out the 'Mind the Gap' lettering I really like.
Very original and thought out by capturing people walking on and off the train, great work and thinking!
