High Street Station in High Contrast

The city theme at the moment is NYC which is motivating me to return to my photos taken a few weeks ago while visiting there with @jyokota. I shot this in the subway station following our photowalk with @michaelelliott to the Manhattan Bridge. Michael and I took very similar photographs but processed them to our different visions -- always fun to compare, so if interested, here's a link to his: http://365project.org/michaelelliott/more-365/2015-10-15

Excellent shot, amazing on black

[AmyJ]

Love this one!

[Kim]

Awesome shot!

[Elizabeth]

Great lines!

[Issi Bannerman]

Something very alluring about this shot. Wonderful lines leading the eye right into the curve at the back of the image - super viewed on black.

[Pam Knowler]

I like your much darker version Taffy! Gives a creepy feel with the line disappearing into the black hole. How come there are never people in these shots? When I was there you couldn't move for people!

[Osia Strasner]

Nice processing, Taffy....sure makes it look like you are disappearing into the depths of Hades, even if it says High Street!!

[Clare Gadsby]

Love the high contrast

[Rosie Kerr]

Delightful curves and contrasts!

[Brigette]

awesome

[Sebastian Gritt]

Great shot. I feel the processing took some courage?!

[Debs Stott]

Such a great sense of movement in this!

[Nitrogene]

This is great, really like the point of view and the curve of the train lines!

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful capture.

[Christina Helliwell]

Love this. Wonderful lines and so dramatic.

[Babs]

I love this one, excellent processing. Interesting to see the comparison with Michael's photo too. A big fav

[sally agnew]

Love the curvature in the lines, great shot :)

[Joyce]

Great capture and processing Taffy. Love the way it draws your eye into the tunnel

[David Lee]

looks empty and eerie

[Lynne]

Very cool and creative shot. Works very well in B&W

[DitDatDot]

Very stylish shot

[Sandy]

Very cool shot.

[Adi]

wow! I really like the one point perspective with the curve and the contrasting lines. FAV

[Sally Ings]

Super capture. When I first saw it, I thought of Northy. It reminds me of some of her shots.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Excellent. Fav!

[gloria jones]

Super b&w shot, great lines, composition

[Bob Zwolinsky]

Love the strong graphic feel and the huge sense of perspective your converging lines and the diminishing size of pillars has created. Plus that almost insignificant line of small lights as the track goes round the corner is so important to the overall look of you image. Have you considered cropping out the light area on the left and cloning out the station name as I believe that they would make your strong image even better.

[Molly]

The strong leading lines really draw you into the shot,

[Jane Pittenger]

Love your perspective and the high contrast works great. I never would have thought about it. I like the curve at the end and how the lights there keep your eye going

[Amrita]

An Amazing shot, draws you right in.

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture and perspective. Congratulations on making the Trending Page and the PP. Well deserved.

[Yeshanghai]

Great composition and capture

[Taffy]

@bob65 What do you think? Thanks for the suggestion -- I had wanted the sign in it, but when I compared the two versions, I had to agree that this one is stronger.

[Leon Buijs]

Great lines, depth and b&w processing

[Bob Zwolinsky]

I can see that you wanted the sigh, and it is always difficult taking something out because you as the author know it is missing, but I believe this is now a much stronger image.
