I'm back with Street photography.

[cC.Aleksander]

Hello guys. Some of you might remember me, many of you won't.
Anywho, i'm back. For now at least. I'm trying to get my motivation and inspiration for photography back.
My last shot, and new as of today is this one. I'd like som feedback on it. Positive, and negative(if there is something).
Which one do you prefer?

Thanks.

Black and white


Colors

nice concept you could easily photomanip that!

The black and white concept is much stronger than colour. Although it is rather grainy. What did you use to shoot? Personally in terms of composition it could be better, did you try shooting at a different angle? Like directly into the tunnel? I think the shape of it might work nicely for framing

ss,

have you tried cropping right around the tunnel entrance? either tilting the rectangle to be as parallel to edges as poss, or leaving it slightly tilted.

i think it would be worth a try. i think pictures that show frames within frames are extra interesting.

Have o agree with Rex here tjuhu mate xD

ss,

i really like this shot, composition wise. you divided that tunnel right in half, and the position of the silhouettes is perfect.

re: color vs greyscale
i like both, but i think ultimately, greyscale would be the best way to go. the snow on the ground and the fluorescent light make the lit area too white/blue for it to be a strong color photo. unless you really bring out the colors on the wall and the yellow light in the distance, it would be dominated by the coldness of the fluorescent light/snow, such that you might as well make it monochrome. (does that make sense? I don't mean to criticize YOUR color reproduction, it's the SETTING that didn't have a lot of color to work with.)

However, i always try out different versions of images and try to make each one the best it can be. so why not mess with both?

suggestion for color: warm up the entire picture a little (temperature, if you use CameraRaw or Lightroom). you can do this by adjusting the color saturation and color balance. i think you could bring out the yellow a bit more without losing the contrast between cold and warm, which i think you were going for?


re: composition/cropping
have you tried cropping right around the tunnel entrance? either tilting the rectangle to be as parallel to edges as poss, or leaving it slightly tilted. keep the upper left corner in the same place, and make the lower right corner about the same distance away from the right wall as the upper left corner is from the left wall.

i think it would be worth a try. i think pictures that show frames within frames are extra interesting, and in this case, a tighter crop around the tunnel would focus the viewer's attention.

However, I sense you wanted the wider shot to show the longer perspective of the plowed snow, leading into the distance.

If so, I suggest darkening the lower right of the scene to try to match the upper right. so that you get three corners of blackness, and the one corner of lit trail leading to the adult+kid and the yellow warmth in the distance.

...

My bad, did I impose too much? I know what I would do and I'm only commenting based on that. If you end up choosing this exact comp, then I would still think it to be a good picture.
