This shot is so great on so many levels. First you have that awesome texture to the train going by and the platform. Its very "logan's run" sci-fi, but the you have the element of the woman with the umbrella. Thats just a ffantastic compositional element, simple and perfect. an umbrella at nigh and it isn't even raining, so far as we can tell.

one of the problems with people giving reviews at times is that they lose sight of the forest for the trees... they comment that your shot is crooked or grainy or a bit too light or dark. THose are the things that make your shot special in most cases, and the comment applies only if the shot is used as a print or in a magazine or formally. Only one shot will look like this one and for a reason.

Oh yeah, and another thing, I know that in life you can't pick your nicknames, but if I could, mine would be "Night train."

I like the mood this shot gives out, Looks like its leaning to the left, would had scored higher if the person was standing straight.....imo

Cool! A little too grainy for my taste. I assume it was taken without a tripod and that's why the ISO had to be set high.

A little too Blurry. Even the face.

Very nice shot. The noise and the yellow all work for me.

Stand out shot. Just wish you had set up on the other side of the slats and given a bit more dark sky above the umbrella.

Great motion blur! Good focus on the person and great detail. A little grainy in parts, which I think detracts a little bit. It's such a fast looking clean shot otherwise!

This is a great image, but the harsh yellows/oranges/reds aren't appealing... perhaps a change in white balance could've produced a more dramatic result.

I really like this one. Some might say the balance is off, being too yellow, but I kinda like it - gives it strenght and character. Too bad it has a sort of pixelated look- perhaps if your image were a bit smaller, it wouldnt show so much. Nice job.

Focus and coloring need some work, but what a great shot otherwise. Wish I had an "L" by my house...

Nice composition, but the grainy highlights hurts a little.
