Nice, love the way she looks out the window. OOF and bokeh against the sharp details esp. on her face/hat, really stands out.

Her mind is miles away, contemplating thoughts that are personal and diverse. You've really captured the moment here, in a candid but sensitive and personal manner. Simply superb photography

I agree with GJC, it feels very poetic. / Now we have snow today, a lot. I'm happy!

Wow, this is a great photo and leaves me wondering - who is she? what is she thinking about? This is an image that sticks with you. The rain on the windows, the sharpness of her cap, and the lines of the seats and windows all come together for a beautiful photo. It’s a really solid composition in black and white.

Effective moment. I suspect it only where our world rushes... But I do not find the stop...

A particularly favourite angle of mine! You can read so much into the figure in a shot like this...

I've ridden the red rocket many times, Damon and seen scenes like this. It is a great image from everyday life. I like the fine detail in the lady's hat.
