[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
a slightly different POV from the first photo and in landscape orientation

i'm still undecided on which i like best...but i'm leaning towards this shot :) this is the shot that i'll be printing in large format to cover a wall in my room :)

i hav been staring at both photos for the past few days and this is the angle that i do not get tired of looking at :)

basically the same digital workflow as the first photo, same vigenette filter used
no cropping was done

Hi BK.
Of the two shots you are undecided on I must agree with this one. The POV is better on this, it feels as if the tracks come from underneath whilt the other feels like they are coming out of your abdomen.
I like the claustrophobic/tightening feel of the vignetting.

Hi BK

Superb use of diminishing linear perspective with a marvellous tonal range in this outstanding b&w. Tfs!

I like the subdued light and your interesting pov BK. There is a great sense of depth to the image.

Another title: "Which way to go?" I like the perspective and DoF. B/W adds to it as well.

Hi BK

I really love thsi shot and I know the darkening is on purpose, but I cannot help feel the shot would look better just a touch lighter. Still wonderful mood shot, great tones and use of light.

This track shot ROCKS!

Cheers!

Ben

Wonderful shot Bk

The lighting here is superb, the composition is terrific the Black/White is excellent here.

Thanks for sharing this beauty my friend

Superb. Tonal range is excellent. The play of light and geometry is beautiful.

Hello BK,
This photo is superb...from the POV to the composition itself...it's excellent.
It totally worths it to use the shot to cover a wall.
Best regards,
Valeria.
