Lives On The Railway (01)

2008.08.13

[Pls Enlarge for Better Visibility]
I have tried couples of ways to edit this shot. Warmifying and Focal Black and White turned out to be fine. But I prefer PURE BLACK and WHITE. The photo tells more words with this effect. What do you think?

Friends:

I have just back from NAY PYI TAW, the new government city of Burma. It was a tiring trip plus a disappointing one. The weather did not bias on me. It's been raining day-in and day-out. There was no sunrise and no sunset either. What a trip!!

However, I did capture some snapshots on my way back home. I went there by office car and came back by TRAIN. The sceneries and the LIVES along the railway are quite interesting. Currently, I have no mood to edit and describe my photos. This is just one of my shots from NAY PYI TAW trip. It was near TAU-NGOO station of BAGO division. I saw a women walking on the railway. Lemme name it "LIVES ON THE RAILWAY (01)". Means, there will be more of it. Feel it and leave some comments.

I think you can't post to .net without their permission.
if you make snapshots, you should ask whether someone like it or not. But I don't know your.... just my thinking.

It's quite moody indeed. Looks like she's seeing her loving one off on a long journey.

That photo really stands out in b&w once enlarged,,,the woman seems to have all the contrast this photo could reach, so the eyes go straight to her, it is a fantastic work!!
