Waiting for the L by taffy

Waiting for the L

This is my least disappointing photo for today's work - trying to participate in the ONS candid shot challenge today. I have photos I like a little more but they aren't candids so my choice was post a photo I like a little more, but not that satisfying, or go with my best attempt for the ONS. I chose the latter. This shot was from the Jackson Street L (L = subway, L stands for Elevated for the original route in the Chicago system). I was trying to capture the tunnel feeling and the lights of the approaching train, and the ever presence of the smart phones. Any suggestions for what I could have done differently (other than use a different photo) are appreciated. (It does look better when magnified and on black background - the little magnifying glass tool above the photo)
I think you nailed it! I love this! How cool if you caught the trails of the train speeding by!

I'm on the L a lot and am going to start carrying my camera to try the train going by idea. Thanks!

Great pic. You should tag it with theme-leadinglines to enter the weekly competition
