Passing strangers
People on a train passing the train I was on. Taken at 1/8000sec at f4 at ISO 1600, hence the grain!
I believe this should go immediately to the FBI. For all you know, it could be Bin Laden, hiding in England. What better place than a British train with dirty, distorting windows. The silhouette is very imprecise.
