 I had the idea for this shot pretty much as soon as the challenge was announced, and then wouldnt you know it I ended up not travelling in the rush hour for nearly all of the challenge dates.

Anyhoo...I was in London on Tuesday and just shot off a few images, I dont know who the chap on the tube was but his expression seemed to capture the misery of commuting on a packed and smelly tube perfectly

I would have liked to do a couple more things to the image but given that it was basic editing I was a bit ham strung

I'm not sure how this is going to do...but there again I have given up trying to second guess the voters

Oh, Jon! This IS Hell for me. . . I don't have exactly the same "rush hour" experience I don't guess as you. . .but trust me. . I swear I am in Hell on my way home most days! And there have been days, I would have sold my SOUL to escape. . .juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust kidding. I wouldn't sell my soul for anything. . . .but. . . .you know what I mean. This is a great Hell concept! I wish it got rated higher!

I know you do the commute thing quite often and feel the hell of it, but this image does make me giggle a bit. Just such a great capture of emotion, it says so much.

I think it might have been better to focus on the mad-looking guy. The subject in focus isn't very interesting. Good topic tho.

Without the look from the guy on the tube this photo would have been a lot less effective.... so all in all - good job!

i wish there was at least one person that was crisp...everyone's moving so there's no specific subject for the eye to be drawn to, except perhaps the man looking down, but my eyes keep being drawn from him to the man looking at the camera who is blurry.

I would have liked it a little bit sharper, it seems a still a little blurred. But it may be just me.
