Midtown train 6944 passes by on Track 2 bound for New York Penn Station.
This print was sold at the Jajo Galleries "One City" Show in March of 2009. Comments
 Gonna have to swear... Fucking awesome shot buddy!
 That is worth making a print. Such colors and the exposure is amassing.
-- Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me. - The Code of the Sith  Oh yes. Looks awesome. What an excellent photo. I love this! When I saw the thumbnail it really caught my attention, and now that I see it fullview it really looks incredible. Wonderful job, Sullivan.

Being that I am propably at the other side of scale of occupation (being that I work with aircraft) and that I live in a country that considers unproductive agriculture over masstransportation I rarely see any good train scenes. So needless to say I might even call this photo mindblowing.
The natural focus for me is instantly that wonderful motion blur of the passing train. Just the simple task of using it in these dark conditions really makes it stand out from all other photos I saw on the critiquable list.
There is one feature that I really admire in well thought through nighttime photos... the unflooded and relatively cold light approach. Normally it seems that every gorvernment out there hates photographers, always choosingorange and yellow tinted bulbs for streetlights and so on. As I focus on that part it still seems that some photographers have overcome the problem... needless to say, you are one of them.
I am not going into that subject more than this simply because I'm struggling with that subject myself.
Lastly I would like to point out the excellent use of the slightly illuminated rails.
Ok, they are just lying there... but this is what makes them perfect, perfect for making something for the viewer to fix to and guide him from the left corner of the photo and into the perfectly exposed train that is just stnading there.
Very well thought through photo.
Just an honest opinion.
