Thanks a lot for all those really nice comments!
Special thanks to xXscarletXx for thinking i was scalvert - the best compliment i could get! took the shot on the print the day before the challenge was announced and found this way to get it into the challenge, though. still think, it meets the challenge perfectly, but some people obviously didn't - bad luck, i guess.

I really liked this entry - nice take ont he challenge and way to go to separate yourself from the pack. I expected this to do well above a 6.
Edit - And i thought more along the lines of graphicfunk than scalvert.
I cannot believe this one didn't ribbon. I don't vote in challenges that I enter, but when I looked through them I had this one pegged as a blue for sure.
Now this is clever and refreshing. If this shot isn't in the top ten then a crime has been comitted, and they should call in inspector prirot to figure out who voted this one down with his "little gret cells" and arrest them all.
Definitely different. Focus is more on the act than on the train/railway concept, tho, which i suspect will harm your score. I like the concept and the presentation.
Hey. That's cheating. Well, not really, but it feels that way. :D Seeing how the challenge theme is trains & railroads I'll evaluate the image within your image. Hmmm...tracks are a bit centered and I wish they didn't end so abruptly. Sky is "ok", bit on the ho-hum side. Color saturation is good, although I wonder how it would look in B/W? Oops, then it wouldn't look right with the black bg and white mat. Oh well. Cute. Good luck.
