BTW forgot to say that the idea for the picture is a good one. With a little work on the focus, metering, and setup it could be a really cool picture. Unless you did it on purpose you might want to focus further down the hall (or increase the size of the aperture, lower f/#, to get a shallower depth of field so that the end of the hallway is almost completely out of focus). There are many ways you could go with the picture...just experiment and find something that people can tell you did on purpose.
What I mean by that is someone could take a picture almost identical to that one: not straight on a horizon, not focused directly on the subject, not metered perfectly...but if someone can tell it was done on purpose and why? You've definitely succeeded. Try leaving the end of the hall out of focus (so it looks like a longer tunnel than it is), either line up the horizon to be straight or *really* off, try using the rule of thirds, and maybe keep the metering the way it is -- slightly blown out to the right. Could make for a cool picture.
