Looks that way, looks like the one guy is walking away non too happy, perhaps some sharp words exchanged

Love how he runs towards us, hits us, passes almost through us and flies away from the frame : movement, that's what I do love in photos and yours is real cool !

But in the street and the indifference, it's almost impossible to observe and to speak the other people.

I think the point is fundamental ... (especially for the photo) but the dialogue and the meeting is important too ...

Cool. The type of picture I like: a bit of motion, a bit of perspective, a bit of grain, in BW of course... and you get apmosphere, oh yeah. R&R photo ;-)

It seems to be a hurried scene here. Nice sense of the hustle and bustle of a busy place.

This really shows how busy people's lives are.

Marvelous. Wonderful tonal range. Love the quote; we all need to internalize that one.

I think that you catch the spirit of the train station

Very strong composition and great light... I think this is the kind of atmosphere that reigns in the underground.

Symbolic shot of our crazy life "métro, boulot, dodo" as we say in France....

Love the quote!
Excellent image... I can't really explain it... probably the moving man in front.

Quite a great way to denote time passing... all your recent photos... excellent.

Is that Smokey Robinson? That motion looks like his facelift. Nice shot. Dynamic. Looks as though he may knock right into you.
28 May 2009 12:52am
@Mike Paulison: Oh! You know I never noticed the resemblance until you just mentioned it. Freaky! And especially since this man is not African American. Yeah, he was pretty close, we almost brushed shoulders.
Ivar from Indianapolis, United States
Looks like he is in a hurry... nice street action.

love the slight tilt and the feel of motion moving off the screen stage left -- the eye then naturally wanders to the right -- to balance the frame!! one wonders -- what was said? excellently intriguing!!!

I just love your street shots! Moments that I am not able to capture.

I like this furious station impression, the everyday like feel.
Fine work in b&w as well.

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
I like your title. Looks as if the two man had an argument of some sort and departed separate ways. And the train leaving sort of enhances the man's anger walking away... Cool shot!

beautiful dynamic streetshot, I like this very much!

i like this one a lot - the motion and his stepping quickly out of the frame - for me creates a feeling that i'm lucky to see him.

I like the feeling of fleeting motion in this image. It puts me in the scene. Very nice.
