Another variation on the metro theme. These are samples of a giant series published here. I suppose I should do a stringent selection, however I still find it difficult to do.

    Nice, Joco - I like the idea of shooting into the metro/subway. But I would definitely pull back the huge pile and figure out what you're going for with these, and then select your strongest images. It can be a large selection, but it should be a selection.

    There all great, but I like the light and composition of #1 best.

    Thanks for having a look. #1 is definitely one of my favorites too.

    Yes, selection. I agree, it's nowhere near where it should be. I tried it by removing the obvious weak ones, but the approach now should be to keep only the best ones.

    Joco,

    You might find Michael Wolf's Tokyo Compression series interesting. Some of your shots are reminiscent of his style.

    Thanks Jenn! Yes, I had seen that series before. Amazing stuff. How these people commute......I would not be able to do that day in day out.
