Description
Was the guard checking out this young woman as she walked to the ticket machine? I guess we'll never know. But who could have blamed him if he was?I'm pleased with this image, right down to the monochrome. It was another foggy day shot. so there was very little colour anyway, and converting to monochrome only deepened the silhouette and brightened the fog. I hope you like it, too

Hey Craig! Was looking through some of my old work and came across a comment of yours, so I've come to see how you've been getting on as I've been absent from deviantART for a while. Anyways I have to say I absolutely love this! Everything about it is perfect. Really nice work

Thank you, Frances, this does mean a lot to me.
I love it, of course, but I've been completely bowled over by the wonderful response I've had to this image from so many people. It does make me wonder what makes an image stand out so much from others - something pretty much intangible, is my guess!

I know - I've been trying to figure this out myself. I'm getting better at it, I think haha. But like you say, it's so difficult!

I guess we each know deep down when an image is good. But the difference between good and great, that's another story. So we go on improving what we do, and how we judge our own work - it's the labour that makes it love, I suppose . Wow, deep haha.

Haha oh definitely! It's funny when a photo that I think is brilliant doesn't do as well as one I think is quite average, which goes on to do amazing! It never makes sense, haha.

You hit that nail right on the head!
Thinks: "This one will go gang-busters!!!!", and nothing haha.
Thinks: "Might as well put this one up" and by the response you'd swear it was an Adams

It has a timeless vibe to it . Reminds me of a scene from the 40's filmography .

I used to live on the Canterbury line back in the early 2000's. But I rarely went through Birrong, maybe a couple of times. Seems like a lifetime ago.

Very small but quite important station - the last station you can change between Lidcombe trains and Liverpool trains
I've been in the Bankstown area for over 19 years now, but only at Birrong for the last 4. Ten minute walk to the station = score!

Nothing less than a fantastic photo. I just love the foggy backgroung that is really bright and her being almost all black, that just gives a lovely contrast!

Thanks very much! That's exactly what I was trying to convey, so I'm glad that, in your eyes at least, I've achieved it!
