I love how the shadows seeming to leak into the picture and the curved ceiling combine to frame the rest of the image. The people create a lovey effect too (ghosts and motion blur)
I've never been on a metro and this makes it appear beautiful.

why thank you
I was rather surprised how this shot came out. I wasn't looking through the viewfinder when I shot it, and it was very spur-of-the-moment. I set it up on the directory map and took a quick shot, and was very pleased with the result so I didn't try for another.

I love spur-of-the-moment shots. If something is beautiful enough to make you stop and take a picture then it is bound to make a wonderful picture. Plus your not as dissapointed if it doesn't look right.
