I took 10 or 15 shots on the train that morning, and the reason for the blurriness (yes, it was accidental, not on purpose) was that I had to hand hold the camera, with no flash, on a moving train before 7 in the morning. :)

As for the light in the top middle, it's actually a street light outside the train. I chose to include it to show that it really wasn't a mirror. A bad idea I agree. Thanks for all the comments :)

interesting shot! i don't know if this was intentional, but the image comes across as fuzzy (not grainy, just fuzzy).

Good iimage.

would have been really great, but the flash zapped ya.

Nice shot, I like the composition and the B&W treatment. However, it is a bit blurry (either out of focus, or there is a bit of motion blur on the man w/ the book), and the flash or overhead light in the upper pane is distracting.

Creatively: I'd say bad composition, borring angle and no story to back it up.
Techicaly: Flat (bad contrast), grain, blury and....
I dunno, I usualy comment pictures I like. I don't see what's here to like.

I like the depth this picture produces... carries the eye inward. You did an excellent job keeping the camera concealed and out of the shot.

Too bad that the image is a little blurred, and that the tones on the girl's face are dark. Whoops!, do I see a camera in the reflection?

A pity to see the flash.. But that's what mirrors are for... Reflect what they receive. I like the atmosphere given by the photo.

Having a focus issue here takes away the great idea you had here. In reference to the content the reflection of the light is bothersome. Try this again.

Like this. Wished it was a little less blur. The reflection of the bulb and a few other details like the seat of the girl, the arm of someone sticking out of her head, ...are quite distracting. If the guy with the book had been in sharper focus, the distracting details won't have mattered as much coz he would have been the main subject.

This is good in a gritty sort of way, a bit like independent film

Nice pic, a bit blurry though and may have been better in colour
