I had a difficult time picking a shot for this challenge. My first choice was this black/white.
It was just so ordinary, so I processed it in a muted color to try to liven it up and keep the aged feel.
This was my third pick. It was just too small to see all the cool details. This would have been my entry if the min size in this challenge had been large enough to accommodate it.
So, I cropped it down to what ended up being the final shot.
I really suffer from trying to throw everything into one picture, so I tried to simplify my style with the first two shots. I just like the 3rd one best, with all the junk in it. I entered the last one just because of the size limitations.
The first two I liked when I opened them - liked the challenge submission when I saw it in the challenge, but you're right - the third one is the best - it really does need the extra room. Very nice work!
- Couldn't do much with the blown out smoke, so passed on this one.
- After the voting started I realized what I should have done with my entry. I couldn't get it to look sharp at the submit size. Afterwards I went back- oversharpened and then resized and there it was, the entry that I should've put in.
here's some pictures i took as i wandered downthe railway near the Klong Toei slums in Bangkok. The kids live right next to the railway.I entered the first one
