Going Underground

Posted by drphoto (Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom) on 29 February 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

Finally for this month, a classic, cliche shot of the London Underground.

I can't remember exactly which station this is I'm afraid!

Sometimes classic cliches are that for a reason; they are classic. As is this one. Bravo!

Wow! Extraordinary shot! I absolutely love this! Well done! My favorite part other than the motion of the train has to be that yellow line. Brilliant job.

@Melissa: Yeah, the yellow line is my favourite element too =D) Thanks for the comment!

Garibaldi from Sala al Barro, Italy

Great combination of the moving train and the frozen - I know, it was not moving - sidewalk. The yellow line is a perfect contrast against the red part of the train. Last but not least, the small diagonal of the sidewalk, enhancing the far end and the speed.

@Jan: Thanks Jan. I intended the tilt to be more dramatic but I do like the way it has turned out.

Dylan from Delhi, United States

I agree with Viewfinder that classics are classics for a reason. This one stands out, as everyone has already said, because of the colors -- the overall harmony of grays, and then those slashes of yellow and red really are exciting. Nicely done.

@GJC: Thanks, I did consider posting this in b&w but instead opted to emphasize the colours so I'm glad you noticed them lol!
