Very nice shot ! I agree the highlights are a bit blow n but i also agree with you saying it's better to loose some highlights on his face than to darken it too much.
Just one question : did you pre-meter / pre-focus the shot or you really put it to your eye and got the shot ?

did you get a reaction out of them when they heard the shutter. You must have been close if you were using a 28mm lens.

great result, symmetry between their two expressions is rare. well spotted and caught

this is a very classical photo, I like it.
however, I feel that the man in the foreground has a facial tone that's too overexposed, maybe you could increase the shadows on his face and show more texture.

Great shot!

Classic
such a familiar feeling - this is me on the bus home from work every day!! haha
Great capture of a real life moment!! I hope the sound of ur camera didnt wake them up - i'm always too afraid to photograph people so close, I dont want them to see me!

A little too much contrast in some parts of the photo, but aside from that this picture is very appealing. Well done.

It's a bit dark, but the contrast still works, you did a great job with this one!

great potential on this one... can't help it, it needs some tweaking but that's just my opinion and my darkroom attitude.

yeah, like people said, the light was tricky, but still I like the expressions and closed eyes of the front two people. And the fact that they are both of separate rows, like little islands...

Amazing photo! Reminds me of Rosa Parks, the first black person who refused to give her seat to a white man, in the sixties. Love it!

Man that lighting must have been a bitch. Still, not too bad for a scan. Maybe a split contrast print could fix some of the blow out? I don't know if you print yourself...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah maybe. i dont do any printing myself just yet

Ah, too bad. It's really a rush, a feeling you can't duplicate with any other means. Try to work in a darkroom if you ever can.

yeah those highlights are a bit sci-fi.
love the similarity of their expressions.
i saw this moment and knew i had to fave it no matter what.

This reminds me of what my bus looks like when i go home after work... everyone falls asleep... i dont know how they manage it..
i like the composition... though not sure about the contrast... but its a cool shot nonetheless!

very nice moment captured.

This is beautiful.
The guy on the left fascinates me.
The people behind him make this worth-while as well. It just wouldn't be the same if he were alone.
Someone else mentioned liking how the two closest have their eyes closed, and I'd have to agree with that as well.
Very nice.
