A Long Ride Home

First 3 second initial impression ... my eye goes straight to the green bar going across the window ... it's not obvious that it is a bus or train or whatever with the double layer window. The harsh glass also gets my attention as well rather than the person which is where I think my attention should be.

After a little while my eye is drawn to the person, the emotion he is showing is awesome, linked with the title as well really starts to draw me in and I really can relate to how he is feeling. Unfortunately I don't think I got this far in voting and I gave it a 5 ... maybe I should have spent more time looking .....

Possible improvements, imho, I assume this was a quick shot and no time to get in the right position ... but, if there was a little time ... I'd have moved further right and shot the window at an angle, I've found shooting straight on often removes depth from the photo so a bit of an angle can add some depth. I'd also like to see a tighter crop, maybe landscape orientation. If the shot was quick I'd still be tempted to chop some off the top ... you do need some of the window to understand where he is but I still want a tighter crop. I'd like the top corner above his head to not be so noisy, in advanced you could select that and blur or noise ninja (or equiv) it to smooth it off.

good colours but too blurred, camera shake maybe? Try resting the camera on something when taking a shot in low light
