...more precisely, through a very dirty train window, unexpectedly! Taking pictures of our local steam line, I inadvertantly captured a series of (to me) interesting faces - and I feel the reflections, poor focus, dirty glass and dark interior adds to the effect rather nicely. What do you think of them?

Like the idea. Way to think out of the "box-car."

I really like all of these and your idea is terrific. #3 looks like a book cover or painting. The "blurs" do not bother me as it is reflection through a train window and I would expect some action blur. I find the passengers' faces totally captivating.

Thanks to everyone who has replied, your comments are much appreciated - wish I could say I thought of the idea, but it really just happened, it was only after going through the shots that I found the faces! Will certainly develop it further.
