Hi Ernest. Hmmm, this shot feels way to busy for my eye. It is pretty difficult to discern the depth of this shot and I can hardly make out the details, as the shot is quite flat. The most dominant horizotnal line is slightly leaning to the left. I don't really know how to improve the shot as it is here, but I can imagine that a shot of the hall alone or the frontmost machine alone would work better for me. Certainly decent levels/curves massage could help making the scene look less "boring and chaotic". At least the "boring" would be affected with more contrast in the shot.

What was your main intention here?

Thanks for sharing!

the mid range seems to be too prominent giving the image an almost bland tonal range, maybe the curves are going the wrong way...

if this was part of a series this picture would make more sense.

thanks for sharing and sorry for being a little negative

I agree with others. There's no selective focus or viewpoint or tonal value that would accent whatever you think is the most important element in this scene. Something in front of you obviously prompted you to release the shutter, but it is impossible for the viewer to see what you've seen. Unless... you've seen the chaos of industrial environment, but even in that case, the image does not work too strongly.

Exactly. Total chaos of this place it was something what i wanted to show. Maybe i didn't done it properly. My fault
And thanks for comments, i'll get them to my heart.

To show the total chaos, I think you aded to much order... how about leaning the camera a bit? The rather strong horizontal and vertical lines work against the chaotic structures in the rest of the scene.
