 I travel through this station and change trains every day on the way to work and despite my drowsiness I'm always impressed by it. Even by 9 a.m. there's only maybe 20 people upstairs on the platforms. The glass gets dirty, but it's a pretty cool structure considering the surrounding area (not so nice to be honest).

I couldn't be late to work this day so I literally ran from the train to the end of the platform, snapped three shots off in record time, and then ran downstairs, underneath and up to the platform on the right (two flights down and up) near where you can make out a few people (completely white). I barely made it.

I was pretty unhappy while going through these just before submission that they're not lined up perfectly. Considering this whole shot is about symmetry, that's going to hurt. But even though the light pole seems crooked, and it looks like I'm off center, the framework lines up on the right and the left, but not the middle. I don't get it.

Either way, I know this challenge will be filled with amazing stuff, but I really like this one. I didn't think I had anything for this, but I'm happy with this, regardless of how it does.

This station is moving faster than the trains.

nice negative image, almost symmetrical with a futuristic look. I like the patterns, they are near perfection.

This really draws the eye in. The vanishing point is perfectly placed.
