Every now and then you get an image that you just look at it and you think, “I like that.” This is one of them for me. Even if no one else in the world likes it, I do. :) Something in it speaks to me, I’m not sure why. I think partially it’s because I’m drawn to the railroad. I’m fascinated by it. It’s wierd to me how you can look in both directions and know that it just goes for miles and miles somewhere. Sometimes I think how cool it would be to jump on one and just see where it takes me. But then where would I plug in my laptop and recharge my batteries? So I don’t and I go on about my business.
The 9936

Yeah I agree Jason, I like this too, the colours are fantastic as is the interesting choice of composition.
Great colour, more enhanced by your webpage background. Did you soften the focus?
You have some good things working here: repetition in the boxcars, engines, and tracks; plus that great color contrast on the engines.
Good proportions.
Me too, i like the colors and the depth is nice.
I like how the front of the train standsout in your photo…the railroad tracks just compliment your picture…and those spolights on the train just drag your eyes straight to the train…
Well done as usual!
I like it too :) I also like the idea on jumping on one of these and seeing where I ended up. You could always go analogue and you wouldn’t need batteries or a laptop ;)
Great dof and clarity…I love the composition and subject matter of this shot too!
Great color and diagonals.
I think you should get yourself an extra (fully charged) battery and jump on that train. If I could I would love to! You are lucky to have such a photogenic train system.
Yep, I think its the colors and the antique atmosphere you feel in a railyard.
Yes, fantastic capture! Just the right DOF and color splash. I love the glowing lights too. It add life.
