Cool shot, the b/w fits it well. Perfect framing.

i've never been on a subway, but I hear I'm not missing out

I am led to the top with this one and it makes me tiered just looking at the climb. NIce B/W with much of the gray scale represented.

You definitely got the sense of looking up. Very dramatacic shot. However, as a black and white photo it seems the gradations are too severe and the number of blown highlights keeps it from scoring very high. You are on to some good ideas here. Good job.

B&W works great here. It gives me the feeling of depth rather than height.
05/02/2002 02:03:00 PM
Nie composition. Good use of B&W.
05/02/2002 04:19:00 AM
nice composition
05/01/2002 08:12:00 PM
There is a weird effect going on. My brain wants to interpret this as a long set of stairs, but the lights on the wall (horizontal and converging) makes this look flat. Has a tunneling effect...interesting.

EXcellent composition and lighting....could be just me but it seems as if the camera is at handrail height looking up versus at ground level looking up...

You're now allowed to rotate to straighten, and probably should here. Nice leading composistion, and I especially like the triangles on the stairs. Gotta vote to disqualify, though, as this is taken from *below* the ground up. {jk}

realy nice.
What are te strange shapes on te stairs? Light reflection or worn stairs?
04/30/2002 12:36:00 PM
Did you take this in the middle of the night or cordon it off so that there's no people on it? ;o) Nice shot.
04/30/2002 09:49:00 AM
I like this shot! I especially like the longer exposure that blurred out the escalator steps... nice work!
04/30/2002 06:39:00 AM
fantastic shot.
04/30/2002 12:22:00 AM
Interesting study of light and shadows. Well composed.
04/29/2002 09:13:00 PM
Awesome shot. Like the B&W. I also like the funky patterns in the stairs. Would give it a 10 if it were centered better. Still a good score though, nice job.

another interesting shot, it reminds me of prague. b & w adds to the mystique - achiral
04/29/2002 01:58:00 PM
nice use of black and white.
04/29/2002 01:01:00 PM
Feels slightly tilted to the right, otherwise well done
04/29/2002 11:19:00 AM
Very nice.
04/29/2002 10:56:00 AM
nice lighting
04/29/2002 10:32:00 AM
Very interesting, in a kind of art deco way :). The amount of contrast is very pleasing. The only thing that distracts me is that the vanishing point is slightly off-centre. The interplay of light and shadow on those steps is engaging.

LOVE the elevation.
04/29/2002 09:46:00 AM
Cool how the escalators blurred in the long exposure. I don't know what the light and dark triangles up the stairs are, but I like them. Would it have been possible to catch the top of the arch of the tunnel? Well done.

good use of B&W, shame you lost the edges of the bottom railings. seems slightly tilted too which would annoy after a while. Like the hidden shadowy figure on the left.
04/29/2002 08:25:00 AM
Good use of black and white.
04/29/2002 12:52:00 AM
Love the perspective. I might have made the escalators a bit more symmetrical in the framing.
