Not bad pics, they could use more contrast and saturation in my opinion, though.

this is a case of having some amazing material to work with and long corridors
all your pics are shooting down the corridor with a few exceptions
mix it up, shoot at different angles, try illuminating the interior with some low key flash
I get the sense of a really long train but can you shoot so it feels like the train is moving?
what if you were to put a fresh cigarette that is smoking slowly on the bar next to a whiskey on the rocks?
can you find some cool old boots to prop up against one of the bar seats and shoot a portion of it?
you start to assemble stories around these props

just my two cents

when you do go back and edit this batch try the "sharpen" effect, then fade the effect to around 80%.

Unsharp mask is less disturbing than the effect, especially when you learn to use 'Radius' correctly.

Thanks for sharing that link, Glass. I hope everyone read it, because it's a damn good (and to the point) tutorial. Bookmarked. It starts out by distinguishing between resolution and sharpness. I have to admit I had problems with that at first. Being from the garbage-in, garbage-out camp, I thought to myself, if the resolution isn't there to begin with, how is a photoshop tool going to help? I see now how it's not that simple.

Of course, I especially liked the short history lesson within: "The term UnSharp Mask comes from a photographic darkroom technique of exposing the print paper through an underexposed and blurred positive film copy of the negative sandwiched with the real negative." I immediate thought of the threads where post processing was derided. So many of these digital techniques I'm learning about now are just a new say to do what was done in the darkroom for the last hundred years. Neat.

Yes, I remember doing a similar procedure in the dark room where I used pin light to re-expose hi-density print paper to get a higher-contrast to achieve a faux sharpening mask.

Agreed!

I'm not from the arrogant "my images are contest winners straight off the card" camp.

As a matter of fact, post-processing is one of the best reasons to invest in digital gear (personally I'm still mostly into film though).
