Not 100% sure if the crop is right. Maybe crop more from the bottom so

that it equals the top "line"? But then I loose the square aspect ratio...

... l would have loved to have only the train, the woman and her shadow, nothing else. Or, even better, the train and the woman's shadow.

Let me describe the actual place: Copenhagen's Nordhavn train station is quite unusual in the sense that it's built on TOP of a building. That is the railways are on "the roof"; you can't use the zoom in the station and I don't mean the surveillance cameras and/or curious bystanders, it's just that the station is awfully narrow, look at the picture "05:49 p.m": THAT's the train station two railways available for trains to stop... Because of this, the train station is pretty crowded, there is no "free" space. More than that, the "sunny part" of the station is not that long because at that hour the sun comes through some other buildings. Lucky me, ACROSS THE ROAD another building made good use of the rooftop too: a "Computer City" has a parking lot on top of their building. Unfortunately the parking lot it's not that long, so the "straight" (read "perspective PS correctable") line of sight area towards the station is also rather short. IF I would have been able to climb on some architectural details of the building MAYBE I would have got a better line of sight? But then picture a guy with a tripod and bulky lens climbed on a non-accessible part of the building taking pictures of a train station after the London bombing...

Maybe I can try and do only the train and the woman's shadow but that will have to be portrait ain't gonna work landscape IMO.

... the shot also won "honorable mention" at the "See Orange" contest organized by Orange Romania.
