Another photo from the lovely Larissis metro station, and taken the same day as this one.

I leaned the camera on the glass to keep the symmetry with the reflections on it, hoping it would focus properly as I did it 'from the hip' trying to be unobtrusive. What is behind the glass is a very beautiful artwork which made this station one of the most photogenic for me.

I had to crop and straighten the original file a bit, and before it clean the noise coming from the 1600 iso I used, as the light was really dim. As I wanted to keep the almost natural duoton, in RAW editor I only lessened the luminance and saturation of yellows appearing on the left part.

Hi Marija,
This is a superb image with a subtle "twist" to it. You've taken an ordinary scene and turned it into something special, by your clever composition. Clarity is absolutely perfect and lighting spot on. Very well done.
Cheers Grant

Hi Marija
It's a very creative composition well captured with a fascinate perspective as like a great ilusion for the observer. The colors and lights are splendid and it were well management. Good job. Best regards, Consuelo

Hi Marija, I found this interesting personnaly as I've just bought the Tokina 12024 lens and was keen to see some urban/architectural examples. Nice work, the scene is very cleveryl composed, youve' worked it out well. The colour palette has been well executed in PP
Nice work
Craig

Nice play of reflection(s) here, Marija, very well seen and framed, the people and their reflections against the artwork behind the glass look interesting.

Cheers

Hi Marija.

Well done with this picture. I think it is great! You have captured it very well. Getting down to a lower point of view has also helped with your composition. I really like this!

Well done.

Blair

Hello Marija,

You captured a multi dimensional frame with many depth. Your models, their silhouettes, reflections are creating a superb photo while you already caught a good perspective created by metro. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

MY COMPLIMENTS

This is a very exciting piece of work, my, very creative, and very funny too:-). Surreal effect and intriguing, the eyes want to look for a long time of it, they wan wander all over the place. You achieved a grear result with the PP, I never thought this was 1600 ISO. Makes me want to buy a great angle. My compliments, Marija.

Kind regards
Michèle

Marija,
I recently saw a post at TE with the same potential as this here but the lack of exploring the reflection to the perfection as you did here. I suggested the person exactly what you did here. Great performance. A doble melancholy in the face of the girl. Amazing details, sharpness and lack of noise at 1600 ISO.
Peter

Hi Marija,
Congratulations for this original shot.
The reflections give a very strange atmosphere, it is quite intriguing.
Good work!
Regards,
Marianne

Elle est bien vue et bien faite celle-ci ! Peut-être, une fois n'est pas coutume, j'aurai privilégié un cadrage bien centré histoire d'accentuer la symétrie, en tout cas ton cliché est efficace...
A plus....

What a reflection!
the atmosphere of the subway is something beautiful.

A very clever shot with your wide angle lens, as there is no distortion. I don't know how you did it in this one. Perspective tool ?

Regards
Stelios

A really inspired photo from an experienced and sensitive photographer's eye
The excellent exploitation of the existing conditions, gave a very impressive result that gives also in a perfect way the railway station's atmosphere.
Of course the reflections, is the main point of the composition, that gives a special touch to the all situation.
My best regards
Kostas

Hey Marija,
Looking at your impressive gallery, I noticed this shot. A very effective angle and play with reflections and symmetries. Very cool. ;-)
cheers,
CT

This one is very good Marija. The juxtaposition is so perfect that it's almost unnoticeable. Great idea and great execution.
