Tunnel, revisited

I'd mentioned revisiting the train tunnel that I used in the challenge (here) again.

One of the things I was never keen on in the original picture was the amount of dark space to the left. Adding to that, a few people suggested that putting the far end of the tunnel into focus might work better.

Well, I gave it a go...

 

(f/5.6, 1/125 sec,  24mm, ISO-200)

As well as a crop, I dropped the saturation in this a little and added a little sharpening and curves (because, well, you know...).

I like this. I like this a lot.

Please tell me I did a good thing.

You did a good thing.

Seriously though, I like that version of the picture better than the first one. There's a lovely amount of detail to catch your eye from the sharper focussed end of tunnel view, to the varying clarity of the tunnel wall.

Yeah, you did a good thing, at least to my untrained eye...
