Nothing special, but part of the daily grind!

Better viewed on black if you care too.

This looks amazing on black. Do you mind me asking what processing you used? I love how it brings out the yellow, and the grittiness of the scene.

Love the processing, awesome shot!

You could have called it "Daily Grind," if you are struggling for a title, because the colors, gritty processing and lines really speak to the daily-ness of the commute on the Chicago El. Beautiful on black.

@888rachel Thank you Rachel. I don't mind you asking at all though my answer might not be very helpful as my processing tends to be "let me try this and see what happens". About 99.9% of the time I use LR as I did this time. As I am sure you know I lean towards editing my shots quite contrasty (not sure that is really a word). In this case I pushed the contrast, shadows, and clarity pretty much all the way to the right and then the highlights a little to the left and then moved everything else back and forth until I got what i wanted. I think I got the bright yellow because I pushed the vibrancy slider to the right, but I pulled the saturation slider to the left so that it was not too outlandish. I hope this helps a little, but I apologize if it does not.

@rosiekerr LOL...if a title slaps me in the face i still don't get it until someone suggests it, thank you Rosie!
July 26th, 2015  
@ukandie1 Ha! Also, "contrasty" is a word here.
July 26th, 2015  
@ukandie1 This really helps. It sounds like how I use the LR sliders, a bit here, a bit there...! Thanks!
