Black and white works well here and it clearly fits the challenge. I'd like to see a slightly different angle to include more of the front of the engine, but that's just me.
Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject. Composition - good Technical Aspects - quite good Meets Challenge - yes Visual Impact / Originality - high
This is one of my favourites this week! A good subject and I like the strong contrast. Good composition. I like the grass in the foreground because it makes visible that the train is abandoned and on a probably long forgotten track. Clever title, too.
excellent photo :) I love the trains... I would love to hear about this one too... I like the composition on this one with the weeds in front... that adds a great mood to this old train... My only issue here is the front of the train... i wonder why you decided not to include that part in the image? good work :) - jmsetzler
I love the content and the picture itself – I'd have preferred a colour image in this case, because I think it would show the age of this splendid old engine. (8)
very sharp image, but I think I would have liked it better in color. Maybe the setting sun reflecting off the train and warming it up a little.I like the whole old train idea, though.
nice photo, but the lighting seems harsh, and i really wanted to see the detail in the shadows. also, it would have been great to see the front of this locomotive. Aesthetics...6 Meets Challenge...7 Overall...6
B&W is nice for this subject. It's similar to another submission from this week and for my tastes, though, there needs to be more of the environment. It's obviously a train, but what makes it worth noting? I can't help but wonder if there is something off to either side that would help draw attention to the specialness of this particular train.
Very nicely done. The b/w does work, yet I would like to see the color version. I definately like the compositon and angle. Good photography - 9 Ruthann
I actually took several train pictures to submit myself. I leveled it down to just two pictures. Those were also eliminated when I decided that I didn't do the subject justice. Your train is much older. You framed it wonderfully. I think "color" may have actually enhanced this picture.
After coming back to this site twice and spending more than 30 minutes reviewing all pictures I had giving a first vote of "8", I've decided to pick this one as "best" b/w.
