Wow, guys, this is such an honor, I'm SO happy to have this piece featured as a Daily Deviation! A big "thank you" certainly goes to Mr =jonnygoodboy for suggesting it, he has always been very supportive and much appreciated as one of my watchers! It feels incredible to be flattered by such a great photographer like himself!
Also, thanks to the wonderful group #The-Yard-Collective and its founder =StamatisGR for giving me the feedback I need!

Oh. And to all of my dearest watchers, I LOVE YOU

very cool. Tokyo subways always do have this slightly oppressive feel to them and you've really captured it here.

This photo caught my attention over all your other works (not that the others aren't as beautiful). It's because this piece evokes such a desolate and chest-tightening emotion that it draws the viewer into its overall depth. The setting-- inside a train, which speeds on through space-- could represent the constant passing of time, which, inevitably, will not stop even though the suffering is there. But it could also mean that it is not a permanent state of being, and that is what makes it so wonderful and poignant at the same time. The colors, washed with a deep set blue, is cold and lonesome. But despite this, there is that one evidence of hope-- or it could be of irony-- which you described as an advertisement on the poster, that fuels the human person to move on and cope with all this desperation.

In short, I loved it.

i mean, for me, it would be better in english, since the meaning adds to the message of the image. but of course that's nothing i can ask of you
