Description More underground pictures from Oslo

Nationaltheateret underground train station in Oslo, Norway. There's light at the sides of the escalators with different colours, that's why one is light and one is dark (and because of the post-processing ).

Post-processing
Lightened the picture a bit in camera raw. Turned up the contrast on the picture with a black and white layer set to soft light (100%), and a black and white layer set to overlay (100%) only on the concrete walls. Ligthened and turned up the contrast on the escalators with a curves layer
.
Converted the picture to black and white with a black and white layer where I turned the magenta colours a bit lighter (effecting the right escalator) and the greens a bit darker (left escalator). Sharpened a tiny bit.

I was too lazy to straighten it, didn't think it was so bad
And F/3.5 became too shallow for this picture I think, I have to bring my tripod there once.

Nah, I think the DoF works. My only grip would be the complete and utter crookedness

If I hadn't been so damn lazy I might actually have straightened it and uploaded it again
