Thanks, Owen. This shot illustrates how street photography requires quick adaptation to circumstances, one of the reasons I find it interesting. I saw the man in matching toque and gloves approaching the open doors and planned to shoot him, but as he came into view the doors started to close. The closing doors made a much more interesting frame than they had while open, but it forced me to completely change my composition in a split second before the doors closed and the entire scene was gone. I’m glad I clicked when I did.

Really solid composition here — the closing/opening bus doors provide a frame into the scene and your framing of the entire composition creates a nice symmetry. I really enjoy how the bus doors look to have pulled apart the figure on the left from the figures on the right to reveal the men walking in opposite directions. Excellent moment. Your color tonal range might translate nicely into a black and white version as well…
