Greatly composed and framing ,great shot ,Damon.

love the contrasts in this, shape and direction wise, horizontals, verticlas, diagonals, his stance, her stance. cool shot

i like this one quite a bit damon. there's a compelling frission in it : something between the two figures, but mostly from her: as direct in her stare as you were across the tracks and behind the camera. i'm especially charmed by some of the image's littlest details: the grip of her left hand on that bag and the way, ever so gently, that her right foot turns inward. strange to think, though, that walker evans waited years and years to publish his subway photos and now we get images like these within days or hours.

"Oh God - could that be Julie? What's it been - 25 years since that crazy summer on the beach? She's put on a little weight - maybe it's just the coat ... She doesn't recognize me. Should I go up to her? No - who needs the complication? But yet ..."

The woman's expression is very engaging, the blue diaganal leads us right to her head, and for a bonus it seems to draw the man to her too. It has an interesting dinamic in the relationship between the three of us (almost a 3dimentional triangular composition of lines of vision...cool!

VERY cool composition, the humor is great--the pink scarf, blue line of the stair/escalator-- fantastic eye, quick reflexes you have. By the time I would have shot that (ack! my conditional tenses are running amuck!) the train would have left.....

i remember that foto you made at the parade where you got everyone to look at you as you waved 'hello' and snapped simultaneously. that technique would have made this perfect. the expression on the woman's face is wonderful.

busted! but the expressions are very nicely captured. have you tried converting this to b&w? because colors are not the main point of this picture, making it monotone might bring out more contrast and details.

Love her expression. Fantastic.

Nice shot!

Cool shot Damon-san. and I love this expression :)

Their facial expression is so precious! topnotch!

HEy Damon, late for the party again due to 'the man' forcing me back to the grindstone yet again. oh well, its been a nice 2 weeks off. Love the expression and indeed it looks like you were busted! Thats all part and parcel of the subway gig though! Love the tones, expression, and the geometry in this, what with the woman being the only subject going against the left to right movement through the image (tiles, diagonal, gentlemans left to right gaze). Fine stuff.

Great composition here, as has been said. Such anticipation in the man's body.

I love this picture. great candid shot.

more than anticipation, what i see in the woman is the possibilty that she might miss the subway because you've distracted her. she looks taken aback and ready to run, completely oblivious of the approaching train. i like that tension, the uncertainty of what she might do next
