Up and Down

Any comment or critique is welcome

An interesting composition as is. Looks like a promising method of visual comparison- try an older person on one side, younger on the other.

 

I see some kind of graffiti on the middle right, can't tell if it's on the escalator or what- a minor distraction.

There's a painterly quality about it. How did that come about? Is it the camera or the post-processing? It's a shot making something out of nothing, by which I mean, two people on escalators transformed into something more. I like it.

There isn't much post-processing on this, just some levels and a little sharpening. The "painterly quality", a compliment I indeed am fond of, that you talk about must come, in my opinion, from the high dynamic range, and notably the blownout highlights of the reflections on the escalators steel and rubber.
