I didn't have the chance to vote on this challenge, but this shot would definitely got 8 or above from me, it screams Nixter all over it :) I really like how you make art from something ordinary like the everyday subway travels. Respect for all the other subway shots.
Great approach, it just seems like the story is a little confused. I'm not sure if it's because I want one of the people to be un-blurred enough to see what's happening, or I want more separation of tones between foreground and background. I think either one or the other would make this tell a clearer story.
