Taken at Union Station on Sunday, processed today (along with the melting heart box shot). I used textures and LR to try to create the feel of heaviness that to me went along with her posture as she moved toward the door to the station. Continuing in main album for flash of red. Extras has the red melting heart box. http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2016-02-09
I was immediately struck, too, by her posture and clothing, as though world-weary from another era, long past. You framed her so beautifully here, as though telling a story.
She looks so burdened, in this vast space... wonderful composition. Of course, the lines and symmetry are so pleasing. I like your use of texture (a creature with which I have little experience), very impressive.
The image is wonderful on its own but the addition of the woman is fabulous! Perfect composition Taffy! She looks like she is from another age. The processing gives it a timeless feel. How lucky for you that she was the only person to come into the shot! Fav!
It's the woman who makes this image come alive and whilst I think you have successfully created the right mood with your processing, I would have preferred a lighter touch with the texture, especially on the paving where it draws my eye away from the main action.... overall a success though.
Perfect processing of this wonderful image! I definitely see how the processing complements the woman. There's so much to love here...the repetition, the texture, the composition, the light...the list could go on and on. I learn a lot from your images and your words. Thank you!
Enjoyable, moody image with a lone figure. The processing is slightly gritty, but still conveys a truth about it, rather than being overcooked. I enjoy the repetitive lights and columns and it is perfectly off centre! Well done!
