My third image is a railway track, however it shows it in a unique way. I have used an interesting angle, and depicted the typical scene of the modern railway: graffiti, rubbish and decay. I thought that this photo stands out from the rest of the railway photos because it is unusual.

ORIGINAL IMAGE FROM CAMERA:




Post Production:

I used photoshop to edit the photograph in the following ways:

1) I added a small element of sharpening to make differences in the image clearer.
2) I have increased the saturation slightly because overall this lacked colour.

Here is the photograph and below that are some of its technical statistics.

File Format - this is in the JPEG format. It is the most common format, and also has a small file size, so it is ideal for internet use. A disadvantage is that its quality can be reduced when it is compressed or saved.

Aesthetic: The entire image is important, so there is no particular focal point as such. The stones on the tracks make up a kind of texture, which I believe is quite visually appealing.
I used an element of angle, also not forgetting that the way I looked directly down at the ground, from a bridge. This makes for a slightly unusual angle, but "unusual" is what being original is all about.
