Tunnel at Canary Wharf

Here is the other end of the tunnel at Canary Wharf. It leads to the building I posted in a triptych yesterday. A less psychedelic rendering than seen from the other end. If I remember rightly from reading the explanatory panel, it was designed to have two completely different lighting experiences depending on which end of the tunnel.

So what editing in photoshop have I done here?

1 - adjustments to luminosity and contrast within the tunnel
2 - removal of colour distraction in small areas either side of tunnel
3 - increase contrast and black/white extremes in panel over tunnel to make text clearer
4 - removal of messy cable by information panel on left hand side
5 - a bit of radial blur in the floor foreground area to help the viewer to focus on tunnel

I think I got an improvement to the unedited version by going through these steps.

Love your editing. You're good at it. I'm not. I'm sucked into the tunnel :)

@stimuloog i'm taking a few lessons and finding it mind blowingly difficult. It is one thing watching someone on zoom demonstrate things effortlessly for 2.5 hours, quite another putting it into practice and realising you didn't understand after all!

[Babs]

Nice one, you are doing so well with photo editing. fav.

[Peter Dulis]

[Taffy]

Just magical! A whole new way to think about where that tunnel might lead!

[carol white]

Thanks for posting your edits. Makes it interesting to see what you have done to the photograph.

[Joan Robillard]

That is cool.

[Faye Turner]

So cool

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Good for you! I think you accomplished your processing goals and then some. This tunnel looks really interesting- from both sides and apparently quite fun to photograph!

An very appealing image, but I do think you should crop out the background and maybe the signage as well. The colours and the lonely person would be a very strong image without the other distractions. Firstly the eye will always go to the lightest area of the picture and any text on signage will attract the eye. I hope you don't mind my critique?
