Challenge: Parallel Lines (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Sony DSC-F707
Location: MI

Aperture: F8.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/400

 This is my first entry and I was not 100% sure on things so I will explain.
All editing was done on MGI 8.1 a very small program that came with my camera. I did something different here to bring out the blue of the tracks. I darkened image then lightened with Color enhance. I used one up on color adust. Then I took it to pS to resize because lines do NOT do resizing on MGI well. These were RR tracks by my house. As far as I KNOW color enhance and color adjust are BASIC adjustments. If not I guess I will find out lol.

Nice twist on a warn out theme. Interesting how aged the railroad ties look.

I like the contrast, although I'm not 100% sure of the colour choice. The composition is great though.

Neat rails, but I think the funny background is a little distracting.

Haven't been through them all yet....but sure like this the best of the track shots so far. Good composition and editing to focus right on those tracks lines.

I knew this was going to be a common theme in this challenge, but the color and texture makes this one rise! [6]
