Textures in the Tunnel

I went a little overboard to bring up the textures for patterns & textures month. Subways shots intrigue me (obviously) and I hope aren't horribly boring. When I show them to Jim, his comment is usually, "uh-huh, haven't I already seen that?"

[Newbank Lass]

Sounds like my other half. I'm not bored. Love the grit and grime and urban feel of it. Really like the b and w.

[Alice Nellis]

Great texture of the tunnel. And I love the composition. Fav.

[Andrew S]

Love the grittiness and your processing. I love your subway shots, despite what Jim says :)

[Louise & Ken]

Like Alice I LOVE those leading lines! I think because of that, I really like this image a lot! Perhaps it's that I don't have plentiful "gritty" textures that occur in big cities that I haven't discovered the joy of processing them!

[Joe III]

Taffy this shot is anything but boring! The tones and textures are fantastic and the choice in processing in black and white is perfect! Fav!

[Eric di Bosco]

Perhaps a bit "over processed" as you imply, but a great composition and great processing for the textural purpose!

Love this! My first thought was that this might have been seen in an old newspaper - it feels vintage.

[Jo]

Awesomely cool shot.

[Bob Zwolinsky]

Great bit of processing to give this a gritty old time look (though not sure the people who run the subway are going to want to use it as a publicity shot.)
