shades of black & white Untitled

Artistic

I just got away from a heavy discussion on this photographic technique. I am slowy changing my style to add dyversity to my images.

Anyway, enough about me, I can talk about me all day. It is interesting that the image fades to black, what was your motivation on this? I really would be interested to know.

I like the dim lighting surrounding this piece where the vegitation is highlighted sightly, a good light source falling on the track as well, primo image.

Cheers, Tony.

Thank you Sharan, very happy that you liked the picture.

Tony, thanks for your visit and your time to express your thoughts.  I usually don't want to comment on my photos, especially when there's no title attached to the image.  A title always helps the viewer to understand what the photographer had in mind taking tha shot.  But it also directs the viewer to a specific subject which means it doesn't leave roon to imagine and conclude your own opinion.  Anyhow there are plus and minuses in this case.

I made the above introduction just to let you know that for me most important is what YOU think about it.  Your feelings, your doubts, your thoughts, your syllogism, your conclusions.  The most important is not if you liked it or not.  For me the most important is if the picture made you think, if it brought a smile on your face or you felt sad or melancholic.  Thoughts and feeling is what I aim for.  If I succeed, I feel I have something accomplished with my try. 

Since this photo is fresh to the critique forum and I do not want to direct any viewer's opinion by expressing my feelings, I would like to ask you to give me a day or two before I express what I had in mind.  Thank you!  Cheers!

Great, really suits my love for railroads and trains...in the night...evokes my memories from my youth! Well done Panayotis!

Best regards

It gives me a feeling of mystery and curiosity about these overgrown train tracks. I usually try to avoid significant areas of an image without details. In this case, the upper-left black area   adds drama and mystery.

A nice strong image captured in b&w. Well done.

Hi Panayotis,

 Beautiful b/w scene filled with mystery & magical lighting.  This has to go to my favorites because I share the love of railroad tracks.  Take care, Patsy

Perfect and...mysterious image!
