The metro masterwork. Отлично! A striking composition with the speed and rush on one side, framed by architectural detail and with a fine leading line of lamps and speed. The couple is the connection between the two parts, longing to board the train. The soft golden palette gives the composition a timeless shine of old glory. The stacked arches and curves are another delight in this stunning composition.

Waiting in eight different body postures, plus one who has given up. Watching them all on this well framed stage is a true delight. You did extremely well to wait for the right moment with a bit of space round the group and individuals. Special praise goes to finding actors who are not all on their phone, which makes it so interesting. The perspective is perfect and all is well lined up.

Wonderful light and composition , processing is noticeable but helps with the atmosphere. We don't know whether she just got out or will miss the train. Now that she can't board the train any more, the lonely figure certainly helps with the story. A beautiful interpretation. It is also remarkable how all the vertical elements harmonize with each other, in the train, the glass window and the right hand panelling.

Primary colours, a tight Belgian uniform and a bright big-city platform. This picture really stood out. Well spotted and an opportunity well-used. The expression of the bored SNCB conductor is priceless: one more trip and I can go home. Very well-timed and composed, there is nothing superfluous, even the vignetting remains subtle., The tight crop is well-chosen, we can almost hear the sounds…. We wait for the signal as much as he does.. A well-deserved bronze for Belgium. PS my guess is Antwerp.

The snow has it. We all have stood in the cold, waiting for late trams and buses., not sure when they will appear. You focussed on the snow , which shows the winter in its essence. The only colour is the tram, which is perfectly placed in the frame. A very pleasing entry.

Morning blues but no rush. Here I particularly liked the well chosen point of view and the unusual perspective… It also says al ot about modern times with total disconnection of individuals. The harch black and white lets us concentrate on the essencial elements, which are so perfectly aligned.. Well done.

Fantastic atmosphere, subtle colours and the carefully lined up geometry including the far building with its arches and columns make this a winning composition. Technically perfect apart from the very top. One wants to explore all these towers and ironwork from the train and find out where the arch on the far end leads to.. It will certainly end up among the top 3

This image is the quintessence of a morning trip to work. The man who need more space, the young lady dozing off and the one reading on her phone. This could be anywhere in the world and still the same.. Great work.

The harsh Tri X makes the morning routine even more brutal, the world greets you with relentless rush to work

Cramped, hot trying to doze till it is over. We all have seen it again and again. The genuine film grain, the harsh black and white make this photo really work. Also very remarkable is her expression, happy to be with her love and trying to feel his soothing presence.

Esta foto me encantó de inmediato; desde aquí puedo escuchar la música del radio del chófer y las interacciones humanas. Conozco bien los buses a Managua y otros de gran distancia.

My first impression was: this could be an old detective film from the 50s. The very image of coming home in winter. Cold foggy, the people reduced to shadows rushing home.. Wonderful light and really well composed. The dark tones are outstanding and help with the mist-erious mood.. .It was very difficult to decide between the first three, you really deserve the silver medal PS I sincerely hope you were safe on the track.

Well composed, well seen and framed. the window balances the figure. The concentration in his face is remarkable, Light and timing are spot on. I really like the concept of this photo. Unfortunately, the focus on the Pozidriv screws, which is a bit strange. I sincerely hope you have another shot which is.

Well framed and timed, wonderful light and I sit in awe wondering how on earth they cling on, although I have seen similar weird things in North Africa many years ago. Also, fantastic light and only basic editing, meaning you already took a great shot. The only reason it is not in the top ten is the reduced size, apart from that, you can be really proud of this one.
