i think the crop on this image is perfect and the ability to capture the reflection so well is impressive, I almost would like to see more of the window or the enviroment around it

thanks for your comment, a_wags. I didn't dare using a larger frame because I was afraid to "loose" the reading girl in the details of the picture.
In my opinion, maybe there should be a little more of the inside on the left side, above all.

for me it's great the composition, the red light guide our eyes to the reading woman, while the left side implicates the speed of the train! :)

This is a special photo. Reading is so often seen as a non-moving activity. This rolls...

Your photo reminded me of a poem that I loved in childhood

Stevenson, Robert Louis (1850–1894).

(See A Child’s Garden of Verses and Underwoods. 1913.)

From a Railway Carriage

FASTER than fairies, faster than witches,

Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;

And charging along like troops in a battle,

All through the meadows the horses and cattle:

All of the sights of the hill and the plain

Fly as thick as driving rain;

And ever again, in the wink of an eye,

Painted stations whistle by.

Here is a child who clambers and scrambles,

All by himself and gathering brambles;

Here is a tramp who stands and gazes;

And there is the green for stringing the daisies!

Here is a cart run away in the road

Lumping along with man and load;

And here is a mill and there is a river:

Each a glimpse and gone for ever!
