I really like the editing on this one. I'm still learning photoshop. How did you get the tones to meld so well. Are you using more advanced photo editing software? Obviously, the original shot must have been great, but the color and feel of this one is terrific. Any tips for my own stuff?
Nope, just Adobe Photoshop CS2 and a lot of books and video tutorials.

Very good.May I use the concept?For a fashion photo shoot.
Of course you can, there's no problem with me. I took about 100 pictures for this challenge(and 60-70 for this shot from different angles and different compositions).
George I've been through your portfolio several times and it is really great to see you get this ribbon! Well deserved and enjoy that front page limelight! Great shot too :).
Well done George, by George, you've done it! a ribbon at last! really deserved...I love the human element in a challenge without many beautiful faces in it...congrats!
A lovely image and grand use of a standing cart. The colors and the ambivalent expression on the subject help round out the feel. Congratulations on your Red!
Nice work, one of my favorites for this challenge. Your shot captures the age and wear of the train car very well and retains a natural look and appeal. The contrast of youth with age is well presented. Well seen and captured.
good eye for a great location to place your model in -- like the hints of shimmery color, gritty/old textures contrasting with the crisp view of your subject -- one of my ribbon picks
I think this photo would have stood by itself without the model. I find that she detracts from the true subject that I want to know more about - the train.
Composed beautifully, looks very professional. Her colors (awesome), the train colors (splendid), the sky (perfect). I think I would of pulled the lollipop thingy out of the ground, but it doesn't hurt the photo just personal preference. Owe yeah border was an awesome choice as well. Bumping this one up from 7 to 9.
The train has great texture and character - Looks like it's been everywhere - riding the tracks forever. The train holds it own as a photo - Somehow - she doesn't seem to belong there.
Excellent contrast and use of light. The model is great but I think it could really be a standout if she were posed differently and wearing white or something to make this even pop a little more. Nice work
Great Job. I really like the acid look of the train. I think if you were to use an old man dressed like a train conductor and did a long exposure making him look like a ghost would look really cool. Excellent job. 8
one of the best so far...love the human element to the shot and it's a refreshing image after seeing tracks and rust and trains...nice detail and composition
Autumn mood
