What is interesting to the speeding train is the subject seen in the background which adds impact to the scene.
To increase the subjects impact one would need to increase his contrast or gamma, and add a bit of sharpening.

For me this would be a very strong image if the WA barrel distortion can be straightened. Is it a layered image? How else did you manage to get a sharp shot of the passenger? I really like it.

Quite a difficult one to critique - for me at least. I like the concept and think it's cleverly executed. The officer(?) on the far platform is almost highlighted, and the red post (?) is a good contrast to the moving train. The only thing I would change is to move the post left a little, right onto the 'one-third' position, thereby giving a tad more space to the officer's gaze, but maybe another blue window bar would appear and spoil things! Good contrast, colour and crop.

In spite of the Kanji sign, this image takes this native New Yorker back in time...waaaay back! The view of stability of the pole/sign and the uniformed officer through the transparency of the subway car that is passing fast enough to escape a place in obstructive reality is a classic view from the subway platform.
a great post for this category, in spite of the pincushion distortion...reality is distorted...so why not a bit of rectlinearity?

I like this a lot.
This is very clever.
The figure of the officer makes the image.
Firts thoughts, why is he sharp if he is on the train ... and then, I thought it was a reflection of someone standing behind you somewhere, until I realised he was through the train on the platform the other side.
Fix the barrel distortion and stick a fork in it!

How does the train seem to be moving yet the officer is in focus? Hocus pocus focus?

Yes Steve, this is why it is such an interesting image. If you read mine and some of the previous critiques you will discover how.

Oh....you ruined it!! You've revealed the man behind the curtain. It was much more fun as hocus pocus focus!! Sometime, lighthouse, a critique is not so much about explaining how an image was done, but why it is so interesting. The various layers of focus, and the little mystery is what makes the photo so interesting. That's the critique....not the how. I really didn't care about the how.
Nicely taken.
