Love the warm smiles of the two main characters in this. And wherever it is looks delightfully warm temperature wise as well!

Excellent take on your theme. Imagine the humor if a person was standing at the bus stop. Waiting for that on-time train, now speeding by, skipping stops to stay on time by the end of the run. Wonderful scene. I vote for the same scene using a tripod and f/16! BTW, composition is excellent, I like the bus speeding to the bright light.

Yep, it's hand held. I'm finding I can get away with all sorts of slow shutter speeds hand held with my new 14-24 :)

Ran it through topaz clarify and did a USM on the bus stop ad, that was enough to make it look presentable.

this is very nice! apparent daytime does not suggest motion blur, so it comes as a surprise. Also love the deep BW tones.
