    Beautiful color in this one! I'm guessing it's shot with a wide angle causing the distortion at the top? The top right looks especially blurry, maybe a crop off the top? Great leading line in the floor, it draws me all the way to the back!

    Crop out the trash can on the lower left and the sign in the lower right and you've got a winner!

    Nice over-all, and the second one is better. What an impressive interior space! In the Midwest no-less (coastal snobbery showing)!
    But, please forgive me for nit-picking; FWIW - with the extreme geometric distortion, my eye struggles without a level horizontal reference - like the top of the back wall.
    I know that the verticals are correct on the sides......as always, could be just be me.

    You're right. It was impossible to get that shot, standing directly in the center of the back wall. (had to back up into another hall) As a result, the image isn't quite symmetrical. Which is fine with me. However, it made it extremely difficult to level the back wall without messing up the verticals (which I care about).

    Awesome shot! You did a great job capturing the colors and details. I have ridden many many trains in and out of this station during the late 50's though the 60's as my father worked there during that time. I always enjoyed going there.
