The Red Carpet

by AndrewA

This shot was wholly disappointing in its raw state; which was a real shame as I loved the subject and the figures.
So, inspired by some of the pictures at the Sheffield Photographic Society Exhibition I have had a play in PSE.
Would be interested in any thoughts, postive or negative.

It is well seen and a good concept also well composed.
There appears to be a lot of noise evident for ISO 400 though? An improvement could be to achieved by removing the far end of the left hand side wall and balance the white about the end of the walkway.

I like idea, red,metallic rodes and figures at the end of tunnel. I don't like red tones on the roof of tunnel. However GOOD capture an nice compo.IMHO low key (colour version)could work better so to keep two figures (as silhouettes)in the dark against a white explosed background. Try to keep out the red.....As I'm what I'm I MUST SAY...."for this purpose it could work better in BW".

I like this Drew and agree with Trixie about the noise which I assume you added. Where is this?

Hi Craig, thanks for your comments. Yep the noise and texture was intended.
It is near the Wicker and the canal bason under the old railway bridge.
