The one hour commute from Kobe (by way of Osaka) to Kyoto was similar to rush hour rides elsewhere. Every seat was taken, and so were most of the straps. I shot this from my seat, holding the camera low and using my flip up LCD viewing screen to good advantage. I organized the image on an arc, beginning by emphasizing the woman at lower right, and then moving up and across the frame from there. The image came together for me when the woman at left lifted her head to look up, her gaze rhythmically repeating the upward thrust of the train's ceiling just over her head.
