Description
Yet another Prague picture...this one taken just before walking into the LONG tunnel that goes through Zizkov Hill. There's a bar near the tunnel mouth, called the "Cerna Kocka" or Black Cat, and my friend Tara and I were interested in going in to check it out, but at the time we got there it was closed. So we went through the tunnel instead, and found a few other places to go and a few other things to photograph. I particularly liked catching the lone pedestrian here...for some unknown or unknowable reason...and it's fairly obvious that this was tweaked a bit in photoshop.
As always, thank you for viewing and commenting, and hopefully you're having a great day/evening.

Interesting shot Chip, call me a bit weird but I see things lurking in that tunnel, specifically because you can't see anything at all, if you get my drift? And that's what it's all about. Without the lone pedestrian it wouldn't have the same atmosphere. Its like a Film Noir Direction. You can be watching that shot for a few minutes then a French voice will say something banale and a kid on a bike will go by. (Well tweaked in PS BTW. Subtlety rules!)

You got a wonderful mood here, with the pedestrian as well as with the postwork. Good stuff!

Prague is a city on my "must see" list. A great shot. Thanks for sharing.

Seems like walking into that tunnel would be really spooky, but it's good to know there are great things on the other side. Nice human touch with the pedestrian, as well!!

Cool photograph. That tunnel looks imposing! I like what you did with the colors, too.

I don´t agree with Nefarious. This photography is very well done and POV and theme are okay, but I had did in black & white only. The houses and the whole scenery look a little bit old fashioned, and a b/w atmosphere could powered it up and create this special old time mood...

For some reason? You're about to walk into a dark tunnel on an empty street and he's about to walk through a closed and shuttered door? Why would that ever attract you? You, without a single philosophical bone in your body :D. That must have just jumped right out at you. I guess, your tweaks concern contrast, particularly, and maybe a little on the reds. Whatever you did, knowing you a little by now, surely added positively to what we see here.

Love the postwork. You know what it reminds me of? Old WWII movies. Kind of expecting a Gestapo squad to emerge from around the corner and shoot this poor guy. The red elements in the photo enhance this mood for me.

Very cool! The selective colouring works a treat!

Wonderful & Unique shot! That Tunnel look creepy :))

This an excellent street capture. The one person and all the cars make for an interesting comparison amd the tunnel makes for a unique perspective!

What I really like about this apart from the implicit danger of the tunnel is the way the guy looks like he's aimlessly walking into the roller shutters.

love it...a bit lonesome but with expectancy too!!!
