This is my co worker/one of my models in the office :) She was very nice to go to the train station for this photo. My idea of waiting train with luggage was ok, but her idea sitting down gave much better depth to the photo. I used my brand new Canon 50 f1.8 lens, awesome thing, first time for DPC. This is Horizontal flipped image because she was looking at the other way, which could cause some negative comments, but the other side of the track was very busy with tons of things, like poles, signs etc. Color version was good too, but B&W gave much more dramatic view to it. I had to crop the image a bit also. A cloudy day gave me much better ton affect, instead of sunny weather with lots of bright areas; this came out to be right time for us to take the picture. I hope this photo actually sent the right message to most voters and viewers :)

but really, just read your own comments on this photo,
"My first try, and ribbon. Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II a very good lens to take pictures."
why would you have said that?
frankly, i wouldn't be able to pull that kind of DOF with my cheap gear.
stand too near and i wont get her entirely in the photo, stand too far and i lost the shallow DOF.
Congratulations on your 2nd Ribbon, great picture. It looks like a scene out of a B movie. I would've liked the vanishing-point of the tracks to be in front of the girls eyes or behind her head.
The triangle behind her head is distracting.
brilliant photograph leo ... the new lens looks like a winner !!!!! .. this is an excellent idea for the challenge, love your title .. you've created a wonderful emotive image .. congratulations on your second ribbon and a pb .. :)
Hey grats! Way to break in the new lens. As for Larus and next time, he's got as many ribbons coming as he cares to enter those shots again and again lol. Good luck with that.
Wow I think this is only the third image I've voted on in this challenge that the focus and technical details are actully right on! This is gonna ribbon (maybe :)
I like this very much. The pose of your model iss pot on, as is the composition as a whole. My only slight, tiny, weeny disappointment is that rather than disapppearing to a vanishing point, the railway line ends rather abruptly with a horizontal line. Excellent work.
I like the dof in this shot and the direction of her eyes with the lines of the track help lead me into looking off into the distance, nice b&w conversion.
Far from home!
