one of the few pics that actually meets the challenge. You have your sky blown out. Perhaps shooting from the other side (this side is in shadows) If there is something ugly behind you, you could get on the ground and shoot up at the car. This is a great idea, just not well executed. You will get better. I'm sure someone else has said this, but always use the full 640 maximum dimensions on at least one side. This is too small.
I voted this a 4 for the following reasons. 1. Picture is very small, so very little detail can be seen. 2. It's kind of a snap shot, the framing is direct on. (Possibly a lower angle and a little closer would have made it pop more for me) 3. It doesn't have lot of contrast. IMHO
nice subject, but I would suggest a tighter crop - eliminate the un needed 'space' around your image. This will remove the house on the right side, as well as some of the extra forground. With your subject filling the frame more, it will also solve the dead center 'snapshot' look of the photograph.
Ooops too small! Welcome to DPC this must be your first entry. I'm not going to vote you down for this otherwise interesting subject, good luck next time :)
Why did you enter such a small thumbnail?
As it goes it looks asthough its a simple 'record' shot of a rail truck with no attempt to give us anything else, no artistry, no atmosphere, no story. It isn't going to win any ribbons.
