Open works very well for the theme
Distant is a great shot, I love how the train is hardly visible until you follow the smoke.
Cold is a great take on the theme, but maybe it should have been lager to really say Cold?
Cool shot for waiting Dave, goes well in mono and good to catch the bloke mid yawn.
That works well in black and white Dave, good timing to get the person mid yawn, perhaps more space on the right as he is looking that way? Either way it's a good shot.
I agree the yawning man is perfect where he is it has quite a claustrophobic feel to it because of the architecture, excellent photo
emphasises his ennui
Excellent candid image!
It's making me want to yawn too....so you knows it's a genuine moment! Yawns are contagious!!
Brilliant composition and processing, and those steps work really well.
It's a perfectly captured moment Dave, truly nice work!
Very well captured Dave. And to get the guy yawning too, really adds to your 'waiting' and his boredom of waiting
Perfect. The half-yawn and the solitude. Missed his train or waiting for someone to arrive - countless stories...
Great shot for Waiting Dave. Well composed and the mono works well.
I learnt a new word too - thank you
Greta shot Dave, timed to perfection!!
I really like candid street style images and this one is up there. Great timing to capture the yawn. well balanced exposure too.
The guy yawning just says it all, really well captured!
Waiting is a cracking shot, Dave. I love the way he's looking out of the frame and yawning - it suits this theme so well. The lines of the wall and the steps fill the other parts of the frame, and B&W makes sure there are no distractions from the main subject.
That's a good idea for 'rough' with the contrasting textures of the water and the light water against the dark rocks, and again B&W works well
Spectacular!
I've (unsuccessfully) used long exposures to photograph this very stretch of water....looking back mine would have been better as mono.
Yours is tremendous....love the detail in the first, perfectly compliments the smoothness in the second.
Great work Dave!
(I have just submitted my version of "take the rough with the smooth" also....it's not as good as this though)
Both work together very well Dave for rough, they go great in mono and love the rough one.
Works very well nice use of Long exposure
Possibly my favourite image for this theme. Love the comparison. Looks like you were lucky with the light levels as well. I can see this in a photoframe on a wall.
Ace shot, like the two together to show the difference in shutter speed too. Well done Mono always works for me
Great idea for rough along with smooth. I imagine you used ND filters?
