 We were coming back from a rained out hike when we saw some commotion ahead. This was quite an unexpected find. Unfortunately, I never thought about submitting the images in the challenge while taking them. I could have made the shots a little more artsy or dramatic perhaps.

I think this shot would have more impact with less of the road showing. Still a nice shot though.6

I'd suggest cropping out more of the road to give the train a little more impact (tho' it looks like it had a fair imact already...) Good find :)

Bummer, wish you'd gotten a little closer though, too much road in the foreground, come on stop traffic next time :)
