I understand this all too well now as my MIL just had to go on one of these systems. It is definitely something that is taken for granted in life. Interesing interpretation for the challenge.

Great! This has a real manneristic feel to it.

I agree that the guy in the center really anchors the shot. The brighter clothes, the perfunctory stare at the viewer -- without him I think this would have been less interesting. He seems to be someone the viewer can identify with.

I love these shots. Something you'll never see here in the States.

A pretty familiar site to me but in English. Nice work.

Great study of faces - no one seems very happy at all. My favorites are the guy about a third ni from the left, leanning his head back slight, as though he's trying to sleep standing up. And the half-face in the upper right. Since you've established the context of public transport by the windows, their stances, etc, you might want to cinsider cloning the text/images at the bottom, except for the bit on the far left.

Very cool...you've placed him just so and I like the stone lines lead and give depth...

Comment by LevT:
it was a bit surreal, Deb is right. To find a square meter in Forbidden city without people is not easy, not to say a whole corner of a courtyard like in this scene. No, I did not cordon out the space, just a fluke happened, and I was able to frame him like that.
