Had a 'point and shoot' with me when I saw this opportunity for '9'. I'm not too happy with the crop but once I'd straightened it, this area of interest kind of defined itself. Also, a square crop maximises the real estate for the 640px limit.

I love the composition, especially the people going into the station. The shirt of the lady looking into the camera seems over exposed and I wish the guy with his back to us (the one talking to the ladies) was either at a different angle or off to the side more - my eye keeps landing on his butt lol.
In some ways I think this was a hard challenge to meet with 9 being an integral part of the story but you definitely nailed that part of the challenge. Nicely done!
Great perspective .. Whites seem a little more exposed - could be just my monitor ..Just need a tad bit more contrast.. a play with levels and curves would have really brought this image out and made my vote change from a 7 to 8 or 9!
I like this image. I have a soft spot for well done street photography, and I like the way this one fits into the challenge. There are many, many areas of interest that keep my eye moving, all the while holding it inside the frame save the one lady on the end of the leading line on the right side. Even still, my eye likes this one, but the tones are flat. There are some true whites, but the blacks are definitely missing. With a simple contrast of curves adjustment, this one would portray a great deal more drama. Here is the adjustment I would have made:
That is with a simple, 30 second curves layer added to the entire image. Even still, I like what you have seen and captured here. I am voting this one a 7, but with a few slight adjustments this one would have crawled even higher for me. Nice capture.
