Here the blur and movement of said blur conjures a story if imagination allows. I like to think it's a meeting taken with a doppelganger, something that should of course only occur in a public place such as a bar, a diner, a train station due to their sometimes treacherous and unpredictable ways.
hehe, started my comment by saying my first thought was to go B&W then I thought the subdued colour works really well. then I read the earlier comments and guess I was a bit late lol.
I think the LB would stop this (and other) shots being social history works but hey, imho the LB turns an ok shot into an image that can tell stories.
Excellent as always. I was tempted to ask why not black and white, but I think the color gives it some warmth and keeps it from being too sterile and/or abstract.
Those European train stations really create some amazing tones and contrasts. Not to minimize this photo, but I simply love almost every photo you've taken in those stations.
Nice use of your lensbaby - and I always enjoy the Platinotype action :- )
This manages to convey a real feeling of depth and intimacy at the same time - which is pretty impressive . .
The lensbaby and the fact that we visually start the picture before the couple . . then carry on past them out the doors into the open gives the depth, and the fact the whole place is gloriously empty except for two people facing each other gives the intimacy.
