Hello Mark,

I seems to be science-fiction! Good reflection on the train and well composed.

Best regards - Franco

Hello Mark,
The metallic grey colours throughout this shot add further impact to the presence of these two trains. The train on the right has a dramatic and sinister quality that is very eye-catching and unsettling.
Best wishes....Maggie

Black Dragon is approaching.. I always felt a strange sense of fear standing at the shinkansen station, seeing him coming.. it looks so animal, odd..
Very good way to show that industrial-animalistic monster :)
with regards, Agnieszka

Hi Mark,
That's one mean looking machine. Dark face where those reflections look like a tribal mask. Head-on PoV works well showing the train ready to take off.
