It's Oslo T-bane (that's a sort of collective term for trams and underground stuff). I used some noise reduction which I think was a mistake, as dirt = noise = dirt. It's pretty much a snapshot that I took and entered just because it strikes me as dirty.

The shot I now regret not taking would have entailed lying on my belly and getting feet, hamburger cartons and all the other ghastly stuff that gets there, as well as including a bit of the aisle.

Thanks for looking in and commenting.

I think the whole angle is wrong. I think this would be nice if you zoomed out and got more of the train with a couple of people slightly out of focus but had the focus on the dirt. Just my opinion. I gave it a 5.

I gave this a 6. I think it might be better with the seats cropped off. The color there distracts from the dirt subject. And with the seats gone, the diagonal aspect of the shot isn't such a problem. Granted, you can't tell this is a train without the seats, but you sure can tell it's dirty. And I like the color tones of the metal.

looks like Oslo t-bane:) so very true, though I have to agree with DrAchoo comment: maybe it would look a bit different with horisontal lines?

The angle seems a bit contrived to me and it is hard to find something to focus on as the bright seats draw my eye up and out of the picture.

Good title, I understand what you are saying.

I'm not sure if the diagonal composition adds here. I'd have to see it horizontal as well. A nice attempt, but just doesn't rise above anything. 5
