18th Street Subway

[calledthestig]

Was down in the NYC Subway at the 18th street station with my new 70-200 f/4L lens and figured I could get a few shots with the repetition of the poles and the approaching train. I took the shot, brought it into Lightroom and played around with the editing and absolutely fell in love with the shot. What do you think?

As always, comments and critiques, are greatly appreciated.

I really like the depth of field and the approaching train tops it off. Very nice shot.

The selective color draws your eyes away from the first sign on focus... which is the subject?

Uncalled for comment, your thread did not deserver such harsh words and for that, I am extremely sorry... I can not go back and fix my childish behavior; however I do feel my conscience would not be ok without extending an apology. Once again, I hope you can accept my request for forgiveness and forgive the post as it was placed in an unfavorable format.

Fixed the selective color issue:

I don't think it was selective color. Just a naturally muted environment in the sense of colors, with the sign being the only real colorful thing in the scene.

I was going to say this was boring. And to crop out the right side of the image. And then I saw it. The approaching subway car! Brilliant. Great great image.
