Hi Sam,

Like this a lot - captures the moment and your processing turns an ordinary image into an extraordinary one. Nice choice of effects!

Well done!

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi Sam, I like the weathered effect and colors on this image very much. As a demonstration of what can be achieved with SPE, this is vey well done.

If you are interested in perfecting this image into a final work of art, I think there are a few things that can be done to improve it. I don't know what the original image looks like, but the SPE rendition, although aesthetically pleasing, doesn't convey the story to me of people having missed the last train. Instead, I find myself trying to figure out whether the person in the foreground is a muscular man with some strange white thing stuck on his head or a muscular woman with her hair up stuck up in a bun with a white thingy. On the right of the image there is a well-defined white stripe that keeps drawing my attention away from the rest of the image. When applying effects to an image, sometimes details of the image become unrecognizable. This is fine as long as they are not distracting, but when they are, it is often best to clone them out of the original image before applying the effect.

I hope you don't mind me giving these suggestions. As I said at the beginning, I really do like the image overall, and I am looking forward to seeing more of your work.
