On the Move

I caught the El (our subway system) after taking the shot in my main album with the hope of having something for the ETSOOI this week with the theme of travel. I waited for the train to approach, snapped a few, and liked this one for the rings of light (spiral is on my mind because of my get-pushed challenge). Edited first in Silver Efex to convert to b&w and up the contrasts. Then in picmonkey to get the motion and blue/burst.

I appreciate your kind comments on my golden collage yesterday, and am also glad you found the directions helpful for the color abstract from Monday. We are madly getting ready for a long weekend with friends in Florida (yay, warmth!) so I'm posting quickly and apologize in advance for minimal commenting over the next few days.
Great pov

Wonderful B&W image and great processing! Love the blur giving the sense of speed. I must have a closer look at Picmonkey. Do you use it before you upload? I think there must be more features. Fav!

Really cool shot and works wonderfully in bw
February 27th, 2014  
@pamknowler quick answer. Yes. Use before uploading after converting and processing in silver efex. Picmonkey is best, I find, for a few final touches.
