How/Why I Did It: On
a recent visit to London, I was impressed by the new entrance hall at
King’s Cross Station. The picture is a bit busy but I guess that is
what stations are like. I have lightened the right side a bit, boosted
the colour saturation and added a poster edges filter. I have spent
about 5 minutes on the picture and may return to it later. Any
suggestions will be welcomed..

| Paula Davies | This
is a super roof and I like your composition. My first thought is
that you should go back when there aren't any people around and take it
again but I don't really think that's likely so dismiss that
thought! As you say London main line stations are always
busy. I like the way the man in the yellow jacket is isolated
from the rest of the crowd. Maybe you could tone down the red
coats so that those people blend in more with the crowd. The best
parts of the image for me are the roof, the lighting in the shops and
that man in the yellow jacket. Poster Edges has done a good job. |

is a great shot with lots of activity to look at. You have managed to
take it from a very good position with both the people and the physical
structure of the station both shown to their best advantage. I
particularly liked the character with the yellow jacket which
brightened the scene in the foreground. Also, the shadows worked very
well. Overall this is a lovely interesting shot. |

The
roof is very striking, and everything is nice and crisp. Your
processing almost gives it an HDR-like look - but seems to work well
with the subject. Yes, it is very busy but I don't think that matters.
Cropping from the bottom almost to the base of the pillar removes some
of the foreground clutter, and I think works quite well - but that is a
different image and perhaps not what you wanted to portry. |
