Lunch at Union Station

This is a a very tiny portion of a much larger image taken for the one night stand challenge - today's theme being architecture... I think the larger shot works quite well - but i just kinda liked this bit better on its own :)

I ended up posting the bigger version in my other album - in case you're interested: http://365project.org/northy/just-because/2013-01-10

Thank you for looking and commenting on my recent shots.

[Robyn]

It works for theme leading lines, too, I think. I like it a lot. The composition and the processing are great.

[☠northy]

@rockinrobyn oooh! thank you! i meant to tag for leading lines as well :)

[Captured4Ever]

Symmetry is beautiful!

[Rich Tyson]

looks awesome

[Jenn]

Love it!

[Cat Whiskers - Nan]

This is wonderful!!! Fave!

[Karen H]

I like how expansive it feels

[bardejov]

Great shot. Love this gritty look.

[Kerri]

Great pov

[Sharon Lee]

Fav... Fabulous composition here...

[Amaya Williams]

Love the tones, light and all the angles.

[summerfield]

you shoulda told me you were coming 'round my turf. could've treated you to a box of cinnabon! :-) i like the processing in this. it's so gallery-worthy!

[Katie]

Fascinating color palette. Love the placement of the person.

[Simply Amanda]

Just awesome. Love all that is going on here, Northy. A fav!

[Michelle Blackford]

Love everything about this...fav!!! Really cool processing.

[Tams]

Love it!

[Carla]

Has the grandeur of something Roman or ancient. Love the textures too!

[Caryn]

I like this! The man gives such scale to the corridor. Did you post the larger view?

[☠northy]

@cmc1200 tx Caryn... so far, no i haven't... felt like too much of the same thing? the other one is far grander - with less focus on the two gents...

[Kate Goring]

You rock! It's awesome.

[TC]

Nice contrasty monotone...love the gritty feel to this one!

[Aleksandra]

I don't know which I love more! Brilliant and a Fav!

[Kareen King]

Wonderful pov! Very eye-catching!

[Roxy]

I really like this, texture is great

[Janelle]

Love this one, although I like the other one as well. I like this one more because you get more of the gritty detail from the pillars and less of the blown out areas on the left that are in the other one. But like I sai,d they are both great. Amazing light. fav

[jerry plume]

I love the larger shot too! Great to see the details tho!

[Lyn]

"yeah, so it's grainy" - listen: the graininess is PERFECT!!

[Paula]

fav. Fantastic.

[KWind]

Wonderful!!!

[Michael Elliott]

Love the composition and processing northy - Fav!

[ladyjane]

Very nice. I love the gritty feel of your processing.

[Alicia]

Really like this. Great in b&w, super composition and the guy just makes it. I'll add my fav

[beachradish]

I'm enjoying looking at both takes. So different, and obviously similar. I like them both for different reasons - super cool!

[☯ Sarah ☁]

It's a tough choice as they are both really cool, this one is darker which I like & I like being able to see the dudes in it!

[Jase]

They both work equally well as images in their own right but I slightly prefer this one. The composition, framing and all that blah, blah, blah is spot on on but I'm seeing a story unfold here, in my head there is a deal about to go down here. Its another fav for me

[Jani M]

both shots are cool, but I like the grand version more because it really emphasises the contrasting sizes of the tiny dudes vs. the huge building.

[Katia]

i just love your streetshots! :)

[Nicole]

i really like both shots, but i think i prefer this one, because of the people in it!

[Simon]

Love this shot Northy! Fav

[aurorajane]

So amazing!

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love the grittiness of this one.

[Stacey]

Oooh this crop is great too...I like them both, I almost prefer the deeper contrast in this one.

[Frank Hymus]

I like "big" coherent images. So while this crop is wonderful, I prefer the big one by far.

Now "big" messy stuff, trying to cram everything but the kitchen sink into a shot" I do not admire very much.

[Jennifer McCormack]

This is a wonderful picture! Love the architecture of Union Station

[April Milani]

What a great shot. You really have an eye for detail. This is a fav for me.

[Caroline]

Fav. Is this silver efex you are using to get the yellow tones?

[Kass]

Both of these are great! Union Station is prime shooting area. I'm picking up my smaller camera tomorrow - can't wait to hit downtown! :)

[Rebecca]

Lovely.. Great lines and textures.

[Lisa Pouncy]

Amazing shot. I love all those leading lines but I prefer the feeling of scale in the uncropped version xx

[☠northy]

@carolinedreams tx Caroline... yes - tones added in silver efex... i find they seem to give depth and dimension to these sorts of shots...

[jenny tucker]

brilliant composition and tones here....a fav! classic street shot

[Kate Klinck]

another fav!

[Caroline]

@northy They really do.

[Kimberly Balychev]

Amazing shot my dear! :) You should put together a book of all your downtown/city photography and sell it! You're shots are outstanding! :)

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Really great comp and edits--another fab foto!!

[Lisa]

Love this version of the shot! Really enjoyed looking at your album! : )

[Rosie White-Hlouveraki]

Lines, light , shadows are fab...fav!

[michelle mcintyre]

Great B&W and works for the theme!!

[Angelique]

Great scope! Fav

[Andreas]

Great shot I fav'd this before I saw the other one, now have to head over there and Fav that one too.

[dave bennett]

Apart from all the other perceptive comments, I think timing to get the pedestrian was spot on for me.

[Andreas]

On the pp now

[Aaron]

Awesome grit, great shot Northy!

[Ingrid Budge]

Stunning shot - love this- a fav

[Judi]

Great leading lines and tones

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Wow! Fav! This is spectacular!

[Victoria Boyd]

I'm following you because of this photo! I travel to Toronto quite often for business, and this view is VERY familiar to me. Great photo - actually nice to see without all the construction going on :D
