Milan's central station, a photo from Milan, Lombardia

Photographer's Note

Milan's railways station is busy at any time.
I wanted to avoid showing people's face, as in my mind the flood of many travellers that fills it every day has no face.

Ciao, Stefano,
Ohh, so familiar shapes and graphic. These blured passengers are just the symbols of our speedy times.
Creative photojob. TFS!
Have a great weekend!

Hello Stefano

A great railway dome, a fine tribute to this 'cathedral of the 20th century' (as railway stations sometimes are called). The inclusion of the blurred people adds a feeling of action, of being 'in the middle of it', which is highly appropriate here.

One of the top railway stations in the world. If you ever pass through Antwerp station, let me know...

Cheers

Benny

Ciao Stefano! Bella inquadratura! Interessante l'effetto del mosso che da dinamismo all'immagine! Belli anche i forti contrasti fra zone in ombra e zone in luce!
Saluti, Nino.

Hi Stefano

the movement is perceived by the blurred silhouettes but also by the "zooming" perspective of the roof.
Congratulations

Hello Stefano
Well you've succeeded: these faceless people do indeed stand for all those commuters the world over who swarm the streets and railway stations of our cities, without speaking or looking at each other. A very aposite image for modern urban living and a good addition to your portfolio of this place.
Regards
Will

Hello Setafano,
Nice capture from the famous Central Station of Milano.
Good pov and good light.
The blurred faces shows the traditional "speedy life" of the railway stations.
Nice framed.
TFS and best regards

Hi Stefano
Impressive shot, an interesting image of this lively station taken in natural available light with tremedous graphical effect. Great long perspective with strong diagonal lines. Very well detailed image with great depth and superb low pov. I like in particular how these lines intersect at the third of the frame and lovely touch of human interaction
to give dynamism to the shot and just to trigger the eyes at the same time. Great shot. Congrats
Best regards

Ciao Stefano,
Milan's station have interesting construction. Fine photo here. It's remind for me (see my photo nr 177976 from this place). Good "live accents" in this image.
Have a nice day.

Hi Stefano,
A fine shot, a combination of graphical effect and daily life action. The slow-ish exposure time works well as it is better the figures remained blurred as they add to, rather than distract, from the graphical depth, and also adds a sense of life, of action. Excellent work.
Cheers
