    That last one is to die for. What juxtaposition.

    Thanks for all the kind comments.

    Qarik, you're right. How can you go wrong with nuns?

    Thanks Benjamin. I'd be interested to know what it is about #1 that stands out for you.


    thoth and rutt, #3 is the standout for me as well.I snapped a few shots waiting for something to jump out at me. When the nuns moved down the platform a bit and I could see them between the pillar and the print ad, I knew I could get something good. When they tipped their heads in conversation, I yelled BINGO in my head and snapped that shutter. wings.gif

    It just struck me the way the nuns were looking right thru the man. Seeing the girl and thinking
    she needs some saving/witnessing. And then sure enough image #2 shows the nun doing just that.

    Now I know they are just looking for the train and that interests me to, because
    now it looks like the man is doing his best to ignore them.

    Either view, I like #1

    I was struck by the man's total lack of attention to the women around him. I didn't catch so much as a glance. I'm glad you found it interesting as well.

    Thanks Eddy. I love going into Toronto to shoot, especially subway shooting. London is pretty dull in comparison.

    I really like 1. like the light the setting.
    It reminds me of a traffic intersection.
    A bunch of people heading different directions doing different things, in different places in their lives, each completely independent from the people standing 3 feet away, like they don't exist.

    Or it's just some people waiting for a subwaymwink.gif
