Looks great, all kinds of details to look around at.

It was no more than a snapshot, but although the man walking was in the "wrong" place in the image, he led the eye to the tunnel lights that move down to the left. I think it gives the shot some life.

The light on the escalator on the left is interesting, it draws the eyes in and balances well with the hanging lights on the right.

Yes. In photography, it's considered good composition to have elements that draw the eye across the image. This one was just fortuitous; didn't plan it at all.

I hadn't seen this forum before, I used to be very into photography.

Why not post some of your work here? Or pick up a camera and take some shots for us?

Those are a couple I like. The first maybe is a little dark but I used to like experimenting with shots that might say something to the viewer. Not sure I got the tone/shade right on the 2nd one.

Welcome! I tend to post more in the painting threads, but enjoy the photography as well. And we need more traffic to this part of the site!

Very interesting cloud, just the one, in that blue sky. Nice photo.

Thanks. Yes, I'd never seen clouds quite like that, like flowing silk. Must be something to do with the altitude I think.

Lol I did, it was an olympus TG4, everything resistant.

It'll be a good motivator to sort through a lot of old photos I've done nothing with.
