I do so love your street shots. This is fantastic. Love the line you took, down the wall, with the seam leading the eye to your subject.

What a weird (and powerful) sensation : as if he's on the verge of being swallowed up by some washing-machine ! His position in that angle and the motion blur on the train create a mysterious frame - original & dynamic proposition out of a dream (nightmare ?), love that !

I like the forms that you obtain, and this division in two planes, turns the image into enigmatic.

Thre is a lot in this shot. The motion blur, the human figure against the corner giving the spectator an extrange feeling (which I like), the amount of greys and the grain, all together compose a brilliant image

Love how your image and the title work together to expand each other's significance . . making us look to see what is missing. Clever stuff.

I can see the scene in my head, as he rush down to the platform and the sub has already left the station...

Terrific photograph. Poignant verse, and one that I certainly have found to be true.

Standing alone, missed the train.
Can be a very sad metaphor to live/love, no?

The end of the world, is he entering in a new space? Nice composition with the wall beeing similar to the moving train living just a little dark space.

I don't know how you manage to get these type of shots Sharon. This is fabulous... The motion,framing, and mood of the image. Really nice work.

Great, blue. The subject matter was almost gone. I imagine you would have got a different shot if you took it sooner. Click first, think later! :)

Terrific photo – as if a space opened before her. The two lines one on the train and the strap across her create another dynamic and it is this and other details that add so much to the image.
