Taking In Grand, a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

Went in Grand Central Station to get a break from the snow/rain on sunday - stood there for a while taking it all in - as you will when you're from out of town - and decided to compose this shot. My main goal was to get a shot with people standing still while others had motion blur. I snapped a couple and this was my favorite representation of that goal. All comments welcome.

note - red increased and blue decreased to give sepia tone.

A beautiful view of Grand Central, Luke. You managed to capture the magnificence of its architecture, plus the busy and hectic aspect that the travelers add to it 24 hours a day. The sepia works really well here, and the light is really captured well. Great shot!

Very good portrait of Grand Central (although it usually gets much bussier... ;)). I like the blur and the color effects - it highlights the busy nature without making the photo too busy.
Well done!

Hi Luke, the variation of colour is great :) I think you accomplished your goal very well, especially the woman on the right side seems to look at you. You also caught the busy people. In addition you got a nice perspective that shows us how big that hall really is. Btw is there a sepia tone mode for the dx6490 ?
