The point of view you've taken here is very detached, almost as if you were looking at this scene in a microscope. Yet, your scientific mood does not get dull or uninteresting. David
Well, you know what? I'm a scientist! :)
Thanks for the very kind words. I appreciate them especially since I'm a big fan of yours.
Wow! This image is all about transportation! As I look at the photo, my eye first rests on the train itself as it has the most light. Then all kinds of interesting things happen, I want to see the whole image at once. The blur of the escalator traffic, the interesting tones and lines--all add up to make a really engaging image! There are a lot of comments below that say what I would say, but I will add that the tones here create a very nice mood of engaging scientific study, if that makes any sense.
The point of view you've taken here is very detached, almost as if you were looking at this scene in a microscope. Yet, your scientific mood does not get dull or uninteresting. And the point of view is that from someone who is vastly interesting and intriqued. You have a lot of things appropriately out of focus here as has been noted, but look at what IS in focus: we get a peek into the train, the sign, the man at lower left--all of these elements are so different and so interesting! It makes for very entertaining study and reflection.
You manage here to comment not just on "transportation," but you capture the essence of transportation, too.
Sorry, but I can't think of any improvements. Someday, I may be able to take a shot like this one, and when I do, I'll be very pleased...
One of my favs for this challenge. I like the contrasting blurred image and the sharp background. This type of combination does not always work successfully, but it worked great here.
One of my favorites this week. It would be a disservice to give the photo a low mark on account of its overall bluriness. I find the blurring is what really makes you feel like you're in rush hour - it adds to the mood of the photo greatly. Lighting, contrast and composition are great here! A wide variety of tones, + your eyes follow a spiral from the opened door, up the escalator and out of the frame. Good shot!!!
Looks familar... New York? I've been so many places, it's hard to tell. This is a shot I would have trouble taking. All the people staring. =o) I like it.
I really like the exposure level on the train here. It looks great in black and white. I think there's too much blur and sense of motion on the two women on the left, which distracts me from the rest of the photo.
I think b&w was a great choice for the image. This way the probably mash of colors was eliminated to concentrate on the duality of paces depicted - the rush of the busy commuter and the stillness of the train and those within, still waiting to reach their destination. The reverse motion of having the pedestrians (as it were) moving and the transportation motionless is quite interesting. A stimulating image!
beautiful black and white... the motion blur here creates a nice feeling of excitement to go along with the regular hustle and bustle that is normally associated with the train stations. Good showing of 'chaos' :) = 10 - setzler
