i love this photo - both the feeling of a grand interior, and of waiting (and so not giving a damn about the grand interior).

excellent capture of space here -- powerful and bold!

I like the composition, but hte windows seem a little blown out. Very difficult shot to pull off. Nice attempt.

@DonLon: Thanks Don. It was a hard shot, I wish I had more time standing there because I had to get back in line to board a train. This is one of those situations I wish I have (more experience) a digital camera.
I like your use of light and what you have left in this composition, it leaves you with a sense of grandness.

@~Kylie~: Thanks ~Kylie~. It was a hard shot to pull off, and I am still not 100% satisfied, perhaps with a wider lens, and a bit longer exposure time, etc. It was a quick shot as I was killing time in line to board a train.
Nice contrast between the shadowy interior and the over-bright windows, the grandeur and the boredom of waiting.
