Howard, I remember your shot, but I think you got the definitive one on the guy hitching a ride between rakes - mine is not half as good. The stupidity of the ban is also that anyone can come in, wander wherever he wants without any hindrance, note what he wants and go - in stations like New Delhi Hazrat Nizammudin (where the shot was taken) or Chennai Central there would be 5-10k people around any time of the day or night. It is like a small city, with trains coming and going 24 hrs a day. It is actually very difficult to imagine unless you have experienced it first hand. I actually submitted the colour version of this to LUG Print Exchange. Only after I acquired Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 did I find that I had the control to process this in Black & White to my satisfaction.
