Shot through the bus window on the New Jersey Turnpike going from Philadelphia to New York City.

Wonderful. It feels like a very delicate, beautiful photograph, yet there are really only two tones and the subjects aren't delicate at all.

Perhaps you should do a portfolio of train ride images.

Good shooting, Michael. It's not easy to do this from a moving vehicle. I tried to see what your shutter speed was, but the image has no exif data associated with it.

Congrats. I like the subject very much and the high contrast B/W treatment is verx appropriate.

Wow! Looks nothin' like the occasional bus window photos I've done. If you had said you moved your tripod around to at least 17 different positions for about an hour before setting up to shoot this scene, I'd have believed you. Beautifully composed and elegant (so much for the slow, contemplative way of working).
