Plethora of Pensioners at Platform Nine

I like this image. I have a soft spot for well done street photography, and I like the way this one fits into the challenge. There are many, many areas of interest that keep my eye moving, all the while holding it inside the frame save the one lady on the end of the leading line on the right side. Even still, my eye likes this one, but the tones are flat. There are some true whites, but the blacks are definitely missing. With a simple contrast of curves adjustment, this one would portray a great deal more drama. Here is the adjustment I would have made:



That is with a simple, 30 second curves layer added to the entire image. Even still, I like what you have seen and captured here. I am voting this one a 7, but with a few slight adjustments this one would have crawled even higher for me. Nice capture.

Like the "existing" 9. Like the B&W, nice tones.

I like the darkness in it, I think it would have been better if you had cropped out the overexposed part in the top

I rather like this, different to the rest of the crop. Hope it doesn't get scored down for being different.
