    Re: Choose Your Title

    My vote: "Sardines"


    but I would have liked to have seen the feet included. And maybe more light on the lower bodies.

    (ps. I would be terrified to be that girl in the middle there on the edge. I'd be afraid some part of me would get cut off. )

    I'd go with "Sardines" or "Room for one more". I agree with Kelly about the feet. I enjoy this image, almost an abstract feel. Nice shot,

    I like the fact that there seems to be only one guy looking out of the train. Maybe a title along those lines. Yes, I know that that goes against all the title suggestions, but that is how I see it. Maybe something like, "Getting Out", or "Anticipation".

    Okay, I'll vote for one. I would go for "Inside The Can", though I don't think that adequately gets all the meaning out of the picture . Nice available light photo.

    I like "Anticipation" too. That's the feel I get from this image. The people are packed tightly, but they all look rather comfortable. But in the whole scene I see people just expectently waiting for what's about to happen: the door will close, the journey will begin, they will reach their destination. I think you can read from each body what different expectation they have. The woman on the end is expecting the door to close, and has prepared her body for it. The man to her left is expecting the journey, and has engaged himself in conversation to pass the time. The man standing above them all is expecting his destination, and he looks like he eagerly can't wait.

    I like inside the can. perhaps just the can. I can't tell if the womans pants are wrinkled, or she's wearing butt high boots and has tattos on her cheeks!
    Yes! I noticed the rest of the picture!
    I like it,

    Re: Choose Your Title

    To tell the truth, whilst i really dig the pic (was there ever a doubt?), I don't really care for the titles given. If I had to choose one it'd be "The Metro". Honestly though, I just can't come up with anything better myself.

    The dramatic light and one man facing out seems to tell a story - looking for someone, on his way to somehere, etc. I'd go for "Metro" as a title to leave more to our imagination.
