This is an emotive silver tone black & white image that emphasizes the elongated subway train interior leading the eye straight to the gothic style figure at the end of the train. It’s beautiful the way the interior light reflects off the multiple surfaces as if the metal is polished to a gleam and frequently so. The lights give off a bright soft focused hue to highlight the metal, contours of the seats as well as the grittiness of the floor. Both the grittiness of the interior contrasting with the highly polished metal surfaces gives character to what is usually a dull theme. The well framed image and excellent editing makes this a fascinating photograph.

Overall, a great shot. Subway cars are indeed, difficult to make interesting. This shot pulled me right in, which is more than I can say for many of the pictures floating on the critiquable page that are low-quality pictures of cats or something.

Anyways, the photographer here has a great feel for lines. The lines of the chairs, the rails, the segments in the ceiling, all draw you towards the back, where there is one lonely passenger. Of course, this also isn't simply black and white. The contrast has been changed by my best guess, and it creates a far more dramatic, and grungy picture, adding to the overall feel.

It's a great shot of a difficult subject. Well executed. It's been done before, but in my opinion, not this well.

It is beautiful. I'm not much for critiques (so sorry, I can't help you out) but the thing that I noticed first wasn't the man in the back on the train, but the wet spots on the floor, indicating the people are actually using the Kontroll car. It was important to me that this was mentioned, or at the very least noticed. Now you know that it was :)
