Down on it's luck

This is a somewhat post processed version of the previous Trolley picture. I think the b&w and vignetting makes for a more moody shot.

    Thanks Steve, I had a bit of a puddle with this and think it works a lot better than the colour version.

    This is interesting, almost post-apocalyptic. I can see another caption "The Meek shall inherit the Earth".

    Thanks Prescott, Ferg and Richard. I don't post-process many shots, but felt the original of this really needed it.

    Thanks Jill :)

    It's definitely better this way, at least in my opinion (although there seems to be a growing number of dissenters opting for the colour version)

    I prefer the composition and mood in this one - nicely done!
  • David de Groot said:
    Thanks Chris. Yep, the mood was what I was going for. The composition is straight out of the camera :)
