Chicago Metro

This is taken at the metro station in Chicago. I love the old style and architecture. I thought this would make a good composition. Olympus D-400Z

Thank you very much Diane. Hardly anyone notices the ceiling at the metro station, and I though it would make for an interesting subject. :-)- G #70300Diane A. Wilder May 26, 2019
They are truly missing out! May I ask when you size your photo, what size do you size them at. I submited a photo for the contest and someone asked if I could make it bigger. The size I made my photo was 432x750 pixles Sixe 6x4.958 72dpi. Thanks for your input. #70301Gunther Allen May 26, 2019
The sizes vary, but I try to stay with a format of 480 px in height, and 640 px in length. Also at 72 DPI. #70303Barbara K. Breitsameter May 26, 2019
