The Shot:
Some will recognize this as a terminal-to-terminal people mover at Chicago O'Hare (just inverted to emphasize the architectural elements and higher-contrast detail in the ceiling). Although bright enough to shoot as hand-held (with IS), such a shot also captures the herds of people shuffling through here. So I re-set at min ISO, reduced aperture and shutter speed, positioned the camera on the floor and started shooting again. As long as there weren't too many people and if they kept moving, they essentially "disappeared" into their brighter surroundings. I only wish that the floor (ceiling) provided a nicer reflection.
PP:
This was NOT a heavily processed image, but I did make minor adjustments as follows:
CROP, STRAIGHTEN & ROTATE, HIGHLIGHTS, NOISE NINJA, ADD BORDER AND RESIZE FOR DPC

Wow this is mesmerizing! I can't quite figure out what I am looking at or if it is even right-side up. I am guessing an airport? I think so because I think I see moving sidewalks there. This is really spectacular and the colours make it even more so.
Ah-ha! I flipped it in photoshop and I think I am right. Brilliant of you to flip it.
Beautiful work, nice shape, colors, lines, everything. I think it being possibly a bit brighter, and more saturated would help, though I am definately not complaining :)! Would be very interested in knowing where this is taken.
I love this place every time I see it! Interesting that you chose to flip it -- I do think the sharper lines at the bottom lead the eye into the picture better, but at the same time I'm practically standing on my head because I want to see it as I would experience it in real life. :)
