F/stop with me is 99% of the time the widest ring - f/2.8 I think?
I love the photos to be as blurry as possible but somehow the 'no ring' setup makes the photo unnaturally soft, that's why I always stick to that widest one.

Fantastic combination of elements - her face melting into her scarf, the train lines radiating from her head.

Nice! Something vaguely sinister about this, with seeing only the backs of these people, the whiff of officialdom, the claustrophobia packed in shoulder to shoulder, the alien green glow.

Am so glad you didn't go B&W with this, excellent capture!

The distortions of the lensbaby, combined with her expression and positioning in the frame lend a very effective, oppressed feel to the image. I also like how there appears to be an ominous figure hovering over her. Has the sense of some impending doom.

The green, glowing light, along with the somewhat mysterious silhouettes packs a lot of visual impact.

I've watched too many movies, I see nothing but KGB.

You saved the very best two for last. This one, and this one.

This one is dominated by the sign, of course ("No Hopping"?), but the columns make a metropolitan forest of sorts, and the people separate left and right to pass the thing in the middle of the walkway. And yet, we have this fellow at the bottom; the only one not yet committed to a left or right course. He has a huge bag ... maybe this is why he can't decide yet? Go left, and risk hitting the bag on the thing? Or right, and hit the bag on the column. Or maybe change hands and then go left, no right, no ... oh, it's tricky, this is. See his posture. Everyone else has made their decision early, and now they are resigned to their chosen side. Their bodies are closed. Accepting of their fate. But the man with the huge bag is still open. His body language suggests that he knows he still has a decision to make, and he's alert, receptive to clues. I think he's even slowing a bit, just to gain the maximum time before he plays his card.

Possibly I have read a little too much into it? Nah!
