Great photo!  The color and lighting range adds a lot of interest.  You can really get a sense of how high the roof is because of the other visual references.

I think the image could use a little triming.  It appears to fall a little to the left.  I think it also would have been pretty cool if the people weren't in it.  Looks like it might be a busy location and waiting for the peopleless moment might have been more time than you were willing to invest.

Thanks for Sharing.

There was actually an overzealous transit security weenie yelling at me that I was not allowed to take a photograph!  There were no signs about it so I think he was just exercising his power.  Luckily he didn't come and physically grab me or anything..... will try to take a better one another time.

Thanks very much for your comments.. please keep them coming!

I have heard of that happening to people and even read an article on it a ways back.  I have heard it's really dangerous to try to take any photos of federal buildings.  I imagine a transit station would be in a similar boat.  That's really sad too, because many of these buildings have the coolest lighting and architecture.
