This is a picture I found very powerful in its treatment. The fish-eye effect creates a dual feeling of imprisonment and closeness: in this little world, it seems that nothing else can exist save what is represented in the picture, and there is no other way but to play this game until the end, until that last straight line is finally walked on. Moreover, all the closed doors around enforce that feeling. As for the black silhouette framed by the strong light, it indeed appears as some kind of ultimate goal to attain, both vulnerable and yet still strong enough to provide a worthy last stand.

In itself, it is not the most original photograph I've ever seen, but it has definitely left a strong impression on me.
