Tram station - St.Peter's Square

Another lensbaby photo from my trip to Manchester on Monday.

I'm already wondering what this will look like if I edit it with the same graffiti filter as the Monday's photo.

These lensbaby b&w photos look so much better big on black if you have the time.

great contrasts, very effective

@pistache Thank you for kind comment. Delighted to share - in LR I converted to b&w and upped the clarity. Then into Silver Efex and from the presets picked a high contrast one - tweaked a few sliders in that until it felt cooked. The blur is all lensbaby - no extra blur added at all.

Great use of blur! And stunning on a black background.

[Clare Gadsby]

No tram stations when I lived in Manchester... but it was 50 years ago!

This image makes me feel I'm the engineer of the tram. It has motion.
