I love capturing motion and stillness in one frame and shooting underground in a subway station is perfect because: low light, fast moving train with bright internal lights, waiting passengers.
I think I took this in one of the stations under State Street, Chicago.

Have a great time at the blog awards in Dublin tonight!

Nice - like the saturated colours too

Fabulous shot. My only nitpicks are the crop which is just a tad tight, and maybe the girls are too darkly lit, but I understand the difficulty of the lighting. Great motion, colors, contrast, intrigue.

Rated 9/10 at the Ratings group.

A nice color push show to the moving train and the stationary girls. Very well taken.
