very nice DOF Daniel :)
the mood is good, i like the dark lonely feel

Very funny title, very funny behavior, very perplexing (so this is a shot of the sound...), and a good BW. Made me style. Overall, 9 out of 10. :)

I love the effect of the unfocussed flourescents!
Great subject - wonderful title.

It looks incredibly lonely,

Good work. The only qualm I have would be that the focus isn't on the handset. It doesn't really bother me though because since it's black it's difficult to tell.

Thanks for sharing,

Matthew.

Nice subject, good DOF.

WOW Daniel!

What an incredible shot.. very isolated and lonely. Great DOF and as Matthew stated those out of focus florescent lights really work. The decending hall is creepy and mysterious and gives the phone a personality. Excellent B&W photograph!

Peace and Love always!

I think this image is pretty cool. I like your title, and I can just see this happening. You are walking through the empty subway, and you hear a phone ringing. You stop, and you take a picture. So simple, but already a story. My favorite part of the image is the way the phone cord is twisted.

Daniel,

It needs more CONTRAST!

Loneliness is what I feel when I see this picture. The unfocused background looks really good, and the B/W fits perfectly. Nice shot.

nice shot. I am seriously starting to think you live in the subways. DOF is very good. I also like the empty hall. Makes it feel a little spooky.

Nice shot Daniel. Lots of good compositional elements, the twisted cord, the DOF, the line of the floursecent lights.

All combines for a really good, moody shot.

Excellent work :)

Dennis..

Great B&W photo, beautiful moody DOF and interesting motivation for taking it!

Very nice but i can not hear it!!
Well done
ciao

Don't you know that when a phone rings, you're supposed to answer it, not take a picture of it. LOL. Nice B&W shot of this empty place. Well done!

The depth of field you achieved is excellent. Well observed.

DOF is excellent! The empty hall makes it spooky and your tones and comp are spot on. All in all a lovely piece of work. A very ordinary subject presented very well indeed. Well done. TFS

Nice one Daniel, simple but nice.
