Harbor Tunnel (Film Noir Version)

Harbor Tunnel  (Film Noir Version)
An iPhone image of the Harbor Tunnel near Baltimore, MD. Since I am not fond of riding through tunnels, I thought dark and moody processing would work well for this image.

Berny, Hubs 56, Jadviga Grase, Philippe_28 and 76 other people have particularly liked this photo

Very good shot combining the leading lines and movement. Like usually, I like the version in colors more.

Thanks, Sami! I was torn between the color and black and white, so I decided to go with different and moody :-)

Good choice, especially when thinking it from Film Noir point of view. It is just probably me who's more hooked to see the world in colors. Every now and then I try to take some B&W myself, but always find myself missing those damn colors.

Well seen and captured Valerie ... great processing too, which really does offer a sense of menace and fear! :)

Thanks so much, Paul! I used to have a phobia against tunnels as they made me feel claustrophobic. It began as a child, when I rode in a bus through the Lincoln Tunnel to visit New York City. It is quite long (one and a half miles) and a bit narrower than the tunnels in Baltimore. I have since gotten over my fear, but still feel uncomfortable travelling through tunnels, especially if I'm caught up in stop and go traffic!

nice speedy shot and works well in b/w

Valfal club has replied to Wierd Folkersma club
Thanks so much for your vote of confidence regarding the use of B&W, Wierd. I was torn between using the more realistic shot in the second note and this one. I wound up choosing this one because it better reflected my attitude towards tunnels.
