This is an older (2012) image I recently reprocessed with modern tools. I’m curious what people think of the overall composition and how it’s presented.
I am no processing wizard so I won’t comment on that. I would probably crop off a little of the featureless sky and trhat would also eliminate the huge “dust” bunny or whatever it is in the upper right.
I kinda like the presence of the negative space up top; there’s an almost symmetry as this is almost divided evenly in to quadrants. You could make it that way if there’s any room to the right in your original.
I like the cold, clammy atmosphere. the only nit I have is wishing the person on the right was standing or positioned better. It looks like he’s taking a step, walking away. No biggie though, just an observation.
Thanks, Lon. To me the negative space is the composition, showing the cold and damp of the pre-dawn morning. The platform anchors us and gives it a human element, but if I crop down, it becomes a picture of the platform, not the environment the platform is in. I didn’t want to crop out because then the people get lost and become almost abstract idea instead. . I agree with them walking, but they happened to be there, they weren’t placed or instructed. I’ll take what I can get…
I generally think images should be self explanatory, not need titles to learn what’s going on. So…for me it’s a pre night shot and those guys are leaving. I do see fog at the bottom, the sky looks more like night to me than fog. You may have a memory of what it felt like to be at this place that is triggered by this image, that I do not. Sorry for all the blabbing. Pleased your here. GL
