and then you come along and photograph
them...hmm...GREAT IMAGE HOWEVER. nice tones,
details. it's a really stark slice of that
moment in time. kudos kiddo.
Invitation into one of the people groups in
the Amazing Images group series.
I selected your photo for inclusion in my Amazing Image project which consists of linked flickr
groups. With this invitation you have the
chance to contribute to the early phase of a
project which might evolve into one of the
most exiting places in flickr. Getting
invited by an administrator is the only way
to get your image into one of those groups.
All people on the other hand are welcome as
members even if they don´t have photos to
contribute. Just click on a banner on top to
get to the group page.I personally have just
5 or 10 photos among 8,000 that meet the
standard of this group series in quality and
popularity.
This group series aims at inviting some of
the most amazing images found on flickr to
create amazing quality group pools
concentrating on a narrow topic in each
group.
I know that your image is one of the most
amazing that can be found on flickr and
likely got a lot of attention and invitations
already. I hope you don´t mind to accept just
one more invitation.
Some of the groups in the project: If you click on those banners you´ll see a
large image view of the group if you select
the large size in the tool.
In contrast to a normal flickr group the
administrator selection of all images in the Amazing Image group series makes sure that all the images
in the group have almost the same high
quality as the photos shown above.
BTW I want to bring the pool size of my new
groups to a more reasonable size quickly. So
right now I don´t really have time to write
individual comments for your photo.
This pic showed up on lifehacker today and I
kept thinking that this totally looked like
the State/Chicago Ave "L" stop. I
clicked through to the flickr page and yep.
It's been at least 6 years or so since I've
waited there, but I know that platform so
well...

Oh you captured that moment precisely. Great composition and color.
Thanks for offering this under CC. I used it in a blog post about taking the subway, being stressed, and making more time for myself: www.effortlessvitality.com/give-yourself-spac e-and-time
