London Underground Photo

Photographer’s Note

London Underground was formed in 1985, but its history dates back to 1863 when the first world underground railway opened in London.

Today London Underground is a major business, with over 3 million passengers a day - making it the busiest railway network in Britain. It runs 511 trains over 253 miles of track.

**Post Pro: Cropped closer making it more off centered, and increased blue saturation (I now realize it was a little too much! All well).

Very instructive note about London underground and wonderful pic of the pole. Nice shot!

Very informative note. I like the crop off centre and the simple composition. The angle makes it dynamic. Nice and sharp throughout. I don't think the blue saturation is too much. The white background works on the screen and in print, but would be very glaring as a slide (transparency).

I must be one of the few people who actually seem to like travelling on the underground, and I like your photo too. I like the way the photo appears black and white except for the red and blue of the underground sign. I think while you were editing it, it would not have hurt to blur out the small potrusions on the pole - they are a bit distracting.

I also like the way the color shoots out from the grey back. It's almost electric. Seems like a photo taken of a neon lit sign at night in this way. The saturation of the blue is not too much in my opinion. It works well with the strong red.
