Great composition and lighting. Normally the DC Metro looks so industrial; this shot makes it look "human".

I like the composition - when I saw the thumbnail, I thought, "Where is that?" So well done - way to take an interesting shot of something we're all too familiar with.

Amazing shot!!!! Breathtaking.
Did you had any problems taking it there because of security?

Thanks all! Usually I am riding the Metro at odd hours and there aren't a lot of people -- this is one of my few Metro shots that shows what is probably a more typical Metro experience.

daligt -- Nope, no trouble from security. They've never bothered me, and I've done everything short of setting up a tripod. For this shot I used a great new toy that is basically a beanbag with a bolt for screwing into the tripod screw on your camera. It is nearly as good as a tripod for many situations, and much less obtrusive. I love it!
