I like the composition but the DOF makes the background quite distracting. I find that I can't separate the close subject from the background very well.
I get it ...but i had to google amtrak first. Like the processing, care to share what you did or is it a straight sepia ?
Thanks. I used the "better way to dodge and burn" via an opacity layer trick to both dodge and burn selected areas. When I applied the sepia I set it to 100% and set the layer to multiply. I used the opacity slider to adjust it. For some reason I find that to give a better result. I then applied a gradient fill layer to try to highlight the chair a bit more.
Tsk...thanks.
Jared, you're right. It was just a quick shot in passing. The cam was at F8 and I never touched it. Probably should have but I wasn't really into the shot at the time.
