Still...learning post production. Started in mono, switched back to colour and was surprised at the hues. Suggestions, critique welcome.

I think it's a bit dark, I would up the exposure a bit. Also I think you could crop it a bit more so there's less negative space.
Just my 2c ...
The idea is that you are moving from dark to light and the space around is supposed to emphasise the gap to move through. I will try a crop and lighting change and see if the same effect remains. 2c always welcome, thank you.
My 1c - I like the comp as is, for the reasons you give, Mike. It works for me, as does the toning. At first glance, it looks dark, but that makes one concentrate and then the more distant sunlit area invites us further in (over the turnstile, by the look of it). Just tried an edit with lighter tones, and it loses all the impact and "story".
I see what you mean.
My critique was a bit naive from that point of view. I like things a bit more explicit I guess.
I tried to exaggerate the effect a bit ...
Oh, for God's sake - make up your mind, man! ;-)
I like lots of things. I try to listen to people. If they have a point, I take that point and adapt.

Thanks Chris, yes it's a stile. Something that is disappearing in favour of gates so it has historical value. No worries Ian, I am reading a book on thinking like an artist using photography and one element is the poles of metaphorical image and literal recording and deciding where our work sits on the line between them.
