I took this on the train last summer. The little girl sat quietly while her mom was focused on her phone most of the ride. I really liked this one and I am glad it connected with a few of you.

I really like the moment in time that this captured plus the nice light. Thought it would finish higher, however, some images are winners when they resonate with just one person. This is a winner.

Excellent - the young lady has such a patient and kind face. I especially like the dog in the purse, for some reason.

This is a new comment series for me, so please bear with me while I find my style!

(Voted earlier)

This is one of my 9s - I like it a lot. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. Great story here - a borrowed moment from somebody else's life - I also like the somewhat furtive feel that this POV gives it.

2. I can see that this is difficult light - strong highlights and shadows, but you have controlled them well.

3. The bar - I know it's near-incidental but I like the way it divides the frame up between characters and thus give the child her own framing. The two pictures in one means that we really do have two pictures, a portrait within a candid. That's clever and effective.

4. I like the other incidentals too - the hands of the other person, the streaked window, the polkadot toy and the camera phone potentially taking its own candid.

Overall, this is a fine image that offer many 'finds' for a patient viewer.
