The Critique Club

Your photo captures the movement of a subway train very well. One can almost hear the thunder of the wheels. Inevitably the issue of the blurring of the still parts of the photo comes up?I agree that it would be best if they had been perfectly sharp and if that had happened I am sure your photo would have finished even higher than it did?so why didn?t people mark you down more? I am sure it is because in each of us we can feel the train ?hear the noise and feel the rush of air as the train goes past. You captured more than movement you captured the feeling of the subway?the lights?and the movement.

It is hard to criticise the technicalities of the shot?because even if they could be improved one has to bear in mind the circumstances. Exposure is correct for this genre- you have managed to capture details in the compartment?the colours are saturated and strong. Your composition is excellent with the train rushing past with a good view along the side of the train to the end when it disappears into the tunnel. The large window is deep orange and warm with the contrast of the green lighting in the station. The lights on the platform disappear into the distance. Everything emphasises the movement and perspective of a subway train huge and engulfing close to us and disappearing into the distance.The lines of blurring and movement are strong and dominant.

A very good entry.Well done.

Andrew

Oh this border works great with this shot. I love the way it looks. I think a crop with more of the tree in the shot would improve it, maybe with some sky showing above the highest part of the tree. Overall well done, Looks great.
