@Steven: thanks steven...this is on a tramway in Montpellier, France...
I thought the curved metal on the backs of the seats looked like huge smiles.....especially the way you've lined it up that way. I know how thoughtful you are about your work.....do you mind if I ask if it was deliberate?

@Ian Bramham: Hi Ian...no, not deliberate...and actually, it kinda bugged me how the top bar covers the bottom of her face but now i kinda like it...i actually cloned out her chin that was showing on the bottom because i thought it looked odd...if you look close you can see a bit of shadow on the bar where i wasn't as careful as i should have been...i'm gonna redo that...
[Picking up on Ian's comment:] But we don't get to know whether the mysterious travelin' girl is actually smiling or not... Her forehead is rather clean... Is she?
If you don't mind my saying it, this is a very attractive voyeuristic shot. Especially because of that oxymoronic ambiguity.

@Guillermina: hi guillermina...kinda think she's having a good phone conversation but it's hard to tell...and i don't remember the scene...i mean it was only a few days ago but i can't recall...you know what, i felt a bit like a voyeur taking this shot...knowing she was busy in her head with whoever it was on the phone i seized my chance...in a way all photographers are voyeurs, aren't we?...thanks for the kind words G.
I like this shot, have to second the previous comments here. I also really like the contrasts here in b/w and the way your warmed it up. Good pp work! Thanks for stopping by my blog:)
