I see you see me

The recent photograph of geese in boxes reminded me of how fascinating China can be. This is a child who appears to be in the neighborhood of 3 to 4 years old who is looking out the window of one of the subways in Beijing.  I like the color in this scene. The ornate bottle on the side of the subway car is an advertisement for bijiao, which is a very strong liquor made typically from sorghum. Some people refer to it as white lightning.

Excellent! Great capture of the little guy and whole feel of the scene. Hard to believe mine is the first comment.

I like this very much as well. I think you also could have made a good como of just the left window framed by a part of the train.

I really like this, David! The expression on the child's face, the lively color and composition tell a great story. Well done!
