What a great shot! Would like to have seen it much higher. Great leading lines and dof, and the mood of it is just perfect, going straight for my favorites. Absolutely super.
It's funny, I just commented on a shot where having a person depicted from the knees down was distracting. In this shot it works. I think it's because the leading lines all converge on that part of your subject that you can see...

Back for comment. I knew I had seen this before, because I really liked it. I finally figured it out tonight...great shot Michael. This is an great photo. I hope it does well.
Like the perspective here. Would perhaops like a little more of the foreground tracks to be in focus - otherwise dof is good. I think allowing us to see the dirt on the soles of the feet bygetting her to stand on tip-toes adds a lot to the composition here. Good work.
excellent entry, michael! i hope this doesn't get overlooked in this monster challenge, and that viewers will give it time. good luck in this challenge, and in 2005, as well!
Scrolling down, when the top of the pic was cut off and the points were dead centre this shot really took off for me....stunning difference...would have made it one of the most interesting compositions I've seen this challenge
This is the best example of use of depth of field that I've seen. Of course, it has outstanding compositional and conceptual qualities as well. And doesn't look like it's been processed at all, which I also like very much. 9.
I like this one... Very simple but really cool. The feet on the tracks thats something you don't usually do not even with shoes. With bare naked foot must even be more unusual. great image i like the DOF.
This photo certainly brings back memories of my childhood. I can remember days of doing just this. There is a bit of Americana in this photograph and that always sits well with me. You have 'connected' with me via this photograph. This photo also has a lot of 'levels' of possible understanding... great work :)
I remeber seeing this one before, cant remember whos it was but almost everytime I am around train tracks I think about it and plan to do something similar one day. This is great.
