Beautiful shot, which is quite a feat considering it's Calgary. Go Oilers! (This doesn't affect my vote, don't worry =) Sharp and nicely exposed.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I like this photo! I'm standing on the street waiting for the train in a surreal world. I'll admit my first reaction was...ow! too much smoothness! But I prefer pinepple's considered characterization of the graphic quality of the image much better than my first impression.

I like the drama of the lines. The graphic tones and patterns they create are really quite pleasing. There are enough plain spaces to balance the patterns. Plenty to lead the eye around the photo and let the viewer explore the scene.

I least like the slicing in half of the man in the lower left. It's not that he's cut off by the frame but that 50% or less of him is showing...just feels haphazard. I do like that he along with the other people waiting provide a lead-in for the viewer, though. At the other edge of the frame the foliage has quite a dramatic contrast (maybe too much) but is also, like the man, sliced in half. On the whole, I think the composition is there but the edges of the frame are being ignored.

Overall, a fine image with impact and moment. Well seen!

I like the detail in the croud...
May I suggest a crop just below where the focus falls off in the dirt?

Nice contrast, timing, and composition. You've actually made the C-Train look half interesting!

Maybe just a smidge too much dirt in the foreground, but an otherwise interesting shot.

Nice effect. The modern advertising is a distraction from the overall feel of the shot that you are going for here, but great detail. Might have left a bit more room on the left since the subject was moving in that direction.
