This picture is really a snapshot I took on a really busy train on the way to football (notice the blue Chelsea shirt?).
The picture itself, I felt was rather bland. So I decided to use "colour curves" in Elements 6.0 to add more contrast. I think its added something to the finished picture.
Then it was time to crop. I'm not too sure if you have noticed that all my pictures are cropped 10" x 8". There were two ways to crop this picture; One was to make the man on the right be the main subject. This meant, that the yellow pole on the right was lost, and the face on the left hand side would be lost. The second option, and the one I chose, includes the yellow pole. I prefer this version, as I like the idea of the hands, that are holding on to the pole. They seem to be trying to staying the picture, rather than escaping from it.
