Subway Ride

Better Seen Large...Thanks for your time

Very nice the way almost nobody seems to notice the wayward photogrpher observing so many disconnected bodies in close proximity. The man sings, and nobody seemingly cares. Some tune out with their ipod, some with their reading, some close their eyes and imagine a different paradise. The accordion player no doubt is on the job. The others just left one or are headed toward it. And not so happily it would seem.

Ahh a glimpse of the "Human Jungle", all in their own little world. Brave shot Marjorie..You did very well again....Regards

Great shot, Marjorie. Imagine what is going through everyones minds at that time.

Very well done. Awesome compostion. Regards, Lawrence.

Wonderful shot. Wonderful study in human nature - nobody cares what you're doing! ( Still, I bet you like to live dangerously). Great capture.

Un excelente documento, muy bueno.

Saludos.

The main problem for me with this image is the angle. The fellow with the accordian is the most interesting element, but he is being lost in the background. I also thing shooting more from the middle of the train may have helped, assuming you could do so without anyone noticing. The lower parts of the image could also use some brightening.

This is wonderful capture.

Thank you everyone for your helpful comments...Michael..I appreciate your viewpoint...In my opinion there is no one important person...each seperate person adds to the total gestalt...M

This shot really hits, in B&W, the essence of a train full of strangers. The shot is great and well-executed. I just hope the accordion player was in tune.

Great shot Marjorie. I like your street shots. This one is excellent.-Jim

Very nice shot. A very familiar scene... Nice B&W treatment. Regards, Jean-Marc

The composition, according to me, worked well Marjorie. The picture shows that all the people here who all look knock out were ignorant of what you did. They just couldnt be bothered. The same thing for the musician as well. A picture showing modern life.

Fred, Jim, Jean and Hussein...Thank you for visiting...

I very like your this work.. Perfect composition and very good lighting.. Well done.. 7/7

A life moment so well caught by you,all my best,Radu.

Fantastico b&n,buena luz y definicion.Muestras imagenes cotidianas del dia a dia de una ciudad.Saludos.

Excellent b&w capture, Marjorie. This wide angle scene is unique. Very good light and contrast. Congrats!

Marjorie, this one has to be seen large, it helps see all the details, the diagonal angle is well taken, and the details and light are fine. looks very natural piece of everyday life, probably not so easy to shoot in this place....

Great documentary, Marjorie. Regards. :-)

Thank you everyone so much for contributing...

Excellent documentary, very nice B/W image.

Nice shot of everyday life.

6/6

Excellent. You were able to get good DOF and maintain the sharpness under low light on a moving (?) train. Not easy.
