The underground station Äußere Kanalstraße of the Cologne Stadtbahn
I had some doubts, however, the inclination seems to be part of the functionality. Furthermore, verifies the difference in the lower cut --The Photographer (talk) 16:02, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've known the creator's intentions so I have to change the reason to oppose, there are two main subjects (the trains and the giant pipes) and both of two are foreground here. This trial doesn't work for me in this case, for now :) --Laitche (talk) 20:26, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Every image is "ordinary" for someone :) --The Photographer (talk) 00:33, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's right but I think it needs a capture something wow for the FP :) --Laitche (talk) 00:53, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've only been once to Japan, yet - unfortunately, but I honestly do understand that the scene may seem rather ordinary to you (though it's not that easy at all to deal with photographically). Here, in any case, it isn't. Unfortunately. ;-) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 04:07, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think every work in the FPC is not easy shot so when I look at the works, always very carefully. Yup, most of Japanese urban scenes are ordinary because they have no originality it's kinda copy of yours (means western culture) but still lots of nice places there if you can find a good tour guide and I'm the most unsuitable person for that... By the way, your former nomination is very impressive and I feel wow so I think wows are many places just we couldn't find that, in my opinion. --Laitche (talk) 11:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment sometimes a "big dog's eye level perspective" works, sometimes it doesn't, depending on the respective station's design. It would have been worth a try here, but circumstances were a bit tricky... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 17:18, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment exactly! --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 17:18, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment It's totally different thinking from the above comment. This category is architecture so I think main subject is the giant pipes(red, blue, yellow) but it seems main subject is the trains in this photo and as far as reading your info, that info is saying the trains are also main subject, maybe that's the reason I don't feel this outstanding, just an additional comment. --Laitche (talk) 16:23, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Laitche, I really appreciate it! As for your question, well, I hoped to depict the station's general design and architecture in action, conveying the atmosphere it creates in a functional way. So trains are in fact an important element to me. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 17:18, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I know what you mean but I think that's so difficult, you mean that two main subject with combination to make a work + depict the action and an atmosphere within a work. If so I think this photo is not reaching your ideal. But I hope you to take that ideal shot someday :) --Laitche (talk) 17:47, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Good all around. Daniel Case (talk) 19:03, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question Maybe I'm missing the point, are you trying to combine the five elements for making this work? I mean both trains and pipes and floor(ground) plus help booth to depict this depth and perspective. --Laitche (talk) 21:19, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Not simple but nice perspective and nice colors. --Laitche (talk) 22:13, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --Hubertl (talk) 05:56, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support. I find the red ceiling the foreground a bit distracting and cramping the composition a bit, but it's a creative composition and the quality is good. I would have liked to have seen the view from slightly further forward with just the tips of the lights on the ceiling curving around, or perhaps further forward again, so that the blue curve was the predominant area of the ceiling. I'm not sure how interesting the ceiling is between the red and blue areas though so perhaps this wouldn't have worked. Diliff (talk) 12:12, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment The actual ceiling between the pipes is rather dull. As for moving further forward: Yes, a predominantly blue foreground would have been very appealing, creating an interesting contrast to the red color that is dominating the rest of the station. But I'm afraid the "emergency booth" would have become quite massive then... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 13:30, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I know what you mean. So maybe just slightly further forward then, so the red ceiling wasn't quite so dominant in the frame. It kind of feels a bit like it's obscuring the view rather than contributing to it. But I still like the image despite that. Diliff (talk) 15:33, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
