Amazing composition! Love all the leading lines. Well done!

Thank you, I appreciate the comment. For whatever reason, the company that is managing the building decided that they won't let photographers with tri-pods shoot there. I ended up doing shots for the company and fortunately got on a list that will let me still shoot there, but I thought it sucked that they limited everyone else....

What an amazingly complex picture, well done!

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. I've been back to this location quite a few times since it was completed, and managed to get several different vibes to come through in the shots. In this one, I thought the colors also lent intrigue to the image as they all contributed a bit of their own character without fighting each other. The long exposure helped with that, and I was happy that the guy in the image was into his texting apparently on his phone and remained still for the entirety of the exposure. ;-) The only extra processing I did on this image was lightening up the shadows under the bridge to give it some depth. In the larger prints I made of this, there's the added bonus of seeing the people in the windows of the train. All in all, I was happy with the end result.
