Subway Tunnel- does the figure work?

[laura1425]

Hi!
This is a photo I took recently in a subway tunnel near my house.
How does this photo work overall? Do you think the figure works well or is it distracting? Is it under-exposed?
I'm pretty new to this, so feedback is an asset!
Thanks!



Camera: Canon EOS 1000D
Exposure: 1/200
Aperture: 5.0
ISO: 200

Interesting. If it were mine I'd probably have to play with it a lot. Crop to vertical, try it in b/w, maybe try a cyanotype treatment. I'd make several different versions and then let them sit in the back of my brain for a few days. Good raw material, leading lines and interesting reflections of light along the walls.

nice try and I like that you are trying something different. For critique sake, the person is half missing and I am not sure where I should be looking. I am looking at the person but also at the overexposed light area. Maybe a different angle would have worked better. Try getting down on your knees etc. When you change perspective, it is surprising what happens. Of course what happens to me is that I can't get up

Keep shooting
