Greetings from the Critique Club!
I like this photo! I'm standing on the street waiting for the train in a surreal world. I'll admit my first reaction was...ow! too much smoothness! But I prefer pinepple's considered characterization of the graphic quality of the image much better than my first impression.
I like the drama of the lines. The graphic tones and patterns they create are really quite pleasing. There are enough plain spaces to balance the patterns. Plenty to lead the eye around the photo and let the viewer explore the scene.
I least like the slicing in half of the man in the lower left. It's not that he's cut off by the frame but that 50% or less of him is showing...just feels haphazard. I do like that he along with the other people waiting provide a lead-in for the viewer, though. At the other edge of the frame the foliage has quite a dramatic contrast (maybe too much) but is also, like the man, sliced in half. On the whole, I think the composition is there but the edges of the frame are being ignored.
Overall, a fine image with impact and moment. Well seen! |

| Nice contrast, timing, and composition. You've actually made the C-Train look half interesting! |

| In the tonality it appears an ink-wash graphic rather than a photo. Sterile in a way (I mean sort of clinically clean which is not really the human condition) - but really rather outstanding in another way. 8. |

Too much going on. Not sure what I'm supposed to look at?! The bus?
Also, the general impression seems very black, and the whites gray. |

| I like the hint of lavender in the duotone. Great perspective, light and shadow. |
