This was was one of those intimidating fantastic images that made me want to improve before I started entering challenges way back when. Glad I ran across it again.

Congrats on the top 10! I honestly don't know what the people voteing 1,2 or 3 for this image was thinking about ;) It deserved to win in my opinion. Well done!
If others want to know how, here is my guess:
The picture is the Oslo underground (T-banen) probably taken on a tripod with a long shutter time. What you see in the background is an advertisement for the train to the airport (two people kissing, with the
text "sometimes it is nice to be able to take the next train"). So Terje probably pressed the trigger just before the underground train arrives, thus getting a clearly defined advertisement, a blurry train and a great picture!
This is super slick. But you already know that ;) This is a great high-impact photo and it's perfect for this challenge! Easily ribbon-quality stuff. Hopefully the voters agree. Congratulations.
Interesting entry into the challenge. Artsy, and different. I like it in that respect. There's something about the focal image though that looks oddly...sharpened though. Also, I wonder how this would look with a bit more of the floor cropped out?
Pretty cool shot and love the effect, great idea! If you ever do a reshoot I would suggest having someone on this side of the train too that is standing still and looking "through" at the couple, I think that would completely nail this shot but I completely like this as it is, I gave this a 9.
A great double exposure - I like how it captures the feel of a private moment enjoyed in the midst of the rest of the world speeding by. I look forward to the details of how you created this.
This is definitely a wow picture – wow! Nice job here. I look forward to hearing how this was done! My guess is that it is an advertisement on a sign that is reflecting on the train.
great sentiment. interesting how the reflections of the travelers fade against the reflection of the poster. i would have enjoyed seeing a tighter shot of the two reflections...the mundane travelers and the colorful lovers. they get lost in the expanse of wall and floor, in my eye.
That's a really good image, how long was your exposure ? I am just thinking if it was more than 2-3 secs, the models would have a hard time posing like this :)
I can see this take a ribbon
Absolutely love this image. There's so little in it, yet it is filled with interest and appeal. Not sure if it's all pure reflection or a bit of trickery, but either way it's fabulous. The juxtaposition of the exuberantly embracing couple & the carefully separated waiting commuters is really very clever. How I wish this would ribbon! 9.
This is one of the more creative shots I've seen here in a long time. I might have burned the sidewalk in the front left a bit since its brightness calls attention away from the main subject, but that's a small critique of a really outstanding photo.
Very interesting. I'm trying to figure out how you did that. Not crazy about the long title (especially with the challenge name in it) but that's just me. I love the red and white. Wow - can't wait to read the description after it's over.
