Bethesda Metro

DC #1 - Bethesda Metro.jpg

I love the Washington DC Metro. Yes, yes, I'm a New Yorker, and yes, we have the best most extensive subway system, but the Metro is something special. There is a certain beauty to the perfectly rounded ceilings, the perfect 90 degree corners, the subtle lighting next to the tracks when a train is arriving, and how there isn't a spot of garbage anywhere.

I spent a bit of time tweaking this one, cloning to fill out the composition, and getting the contrast to where I like it while blowing out a bunch of highlights along the way. It's not perfect, but I like it. Let me know if you think it works.
