This is an epically cool photo for two reasons. First, there is something very pleasing to the eye about the way that the people on the train platform in the Helsinki subway are spaced out. Second, the photographer set them against the blur of the bright red train, making them — not the train — the focus of the photo. The photo was taken with a Panasonic DMC-LX2 and exposed with a 1/10th second shutter speed, aperture f/2.8, focal length of 6.3 mm and 100 ISO.
