Waiting for the train, a photo from California, West

Photographer's Note

The is at the Getty Center in LA. One gets there by a little train and when one arrives this well-dressed gentleman sees to it that no one is lost.

I tried to capture him just before the doors opened. The purpose of the low angle is to get some perspective from the tiles of the plaza.

In PS I hit 'monochrome' in the channel mixer and provided lots of contrast in curves.

I like this picture Mikkel. You could almost invent an entire movie from just trying to anticipate the next move. Who will be next, the train of the man. The texture of the tiled floor and the wall distanced by this shiny train is also very interesting. Good eye!

Nice composition, nice example following the rule of one third's. Nice contrast, I like the silvery look of the train. The pose and unseen expression of the person adds to the mystery. Great shot indeed.

I quite like this. Agree it needs to be rotated a degree or so clockwise. But good, with all the tiles in the foreground. B&W nice choice.
