    Nice capture. I like the expressions and the also the contrast of "Summer" with the subject's cold weather gear.

    I like it, but I wish we had more - or less - of the woman on the left.

    Yeah, I struggled with what to do here. In hindsight, I wanted more of her too, but all I had was what you see. I cropped a bit from the other side to provide balance - I thought that half a person on each side would be interesting.

    I really didn't want to lose the landscape orientation - just feels right for a shot on a train. That being said I will try cropping it in a portrait orientation, removing the woman at her left to see how it looks/feels. The portrait orientation will also take care of the very distracting - "Hey baby, want to see what 300 gigs looks like"? message in the top right corner.

    Thanks for the opinion BD. Appreciated.

    I like the 2nd image best. Makes me wonder more of what she's looking at.

    The first two images are all about her dressed for cold weather, yet "summer" in the background

    In this last shot I like the incongruity of the 3 subjects...
