I readily admit - I am reading yet another book on composition. I am not sure how much I learn, but it does make me stop and think deeper. What I see is that I've much to learn from you. Here's why: 1. Two men - one on the platform and one in the train - they look to me like two stages of the same process - boarding the train. You see, they wear the same *tonal* kind of clothes and *amazingly to me, that I see it now* the backpack's form is similar to that of coat or whatever piece of cloth the man on the platform holds. 2. The "sequence" of a person sitting just beneath the sign, the blurred moving person and person further to the right has same transitional properties, very similar to what I described above. Together 1 and 2 give me a sense of frozen moment yet a process in development, a motion of sorts. Further, the play of bright lamp and brighter-than-train floor smoothly let me enter the frame... All together - marvelous piece... I wish someone would analyze my photos like I just did for you <bg>... Frank, how's your trip across the pond going? I am rather afraid you cancelled it :-(.
