Really like the first one, Mike, because of the old lady. Second one doesn't work for me.

Like the second one Mike...it's quite striking, unusual, the active hands make you wonder what the omitted face is doing. Like the tone, too and love the grain.

Thanks. The funny thing is he had no expression on his face but was ringing that newspaper like it was someones neck.

I like the second one. First one is ok, but its been done before. Second one is unusual and I like it! Interesting subject!

What brought my attention to take the first photo was that the woman kept imitating the man.

Mike,

I really like the first image. I like how the two poles frame the shot. My eye goes towards the lines and motion of the train. And b/w serves this photo nicely for some drama and storytelling. Thanks for sharing!
