It was a remarkable site to see this woman in her starch whites. She was sitting very carefully, as if her movements would dictate if she got to work soiled or not. You can almost see the filth of the subway slowing crawling her way.

I think that she's an earthbound angel who dares the subway to try and get her dirty. Can't touch me!
Maybe it's because I'm a book person, but my eye wasn't drawn to the starched whites initially. The first thing that popped in my head was, "I've read that. Good book!"
I like the look of the woman in white. Such a typical, bored subway look. Neat capture.
