Wow, I like this! Of course, people always look at me like I'm crazy when I'm lying on the ground to take pictures of gravel and sand! Ha Ha. What I love about this is that it is more than just a closeup picture of a rail. It's leading line takes you straight to the city skyline. The haziness of the city leads you to believe it is far far away across a blistering hot prarie. Very nicely done!

Nice bokeh, and I haven't even voted in that challenge yet! I do like this - but I think having a bit deeper depth of field would be nice - let us see just a bit of that second rail.

Really nice image here. Great dof. Very solid concept, and the title even ties it together nicely. Good job.

DOF could be a tad deeper to have the silhouette of the city more recognizable

nice idea, but the focus decision seems a bit unorthodox.
