Nice capture, looks very slightly tilted (looking at the lettering at the lower left). Just out of curiosity, is the whole boxcar rusted, or is it just faded boxcar red?
The whole thing is just about to break out in rust if it dosen't get help soon, so whil the paint is an oxidized brownish red, anything that sticks out is rusted as well as any scratch or belmish. Sadly it didn't reduce very well, decent print but when I posted it I realised that it lost alot in transition. As to the tilting, I agree and have rotated it a touch.

Great selection of what to show and what not to show. The raintracks through the rust and the ideal combination of car color and rust color really make an appealing picture. I would like to see this with the full arc of the circle on the right present but something tells me this is exactly the right cropping. The bottom edge could have been straightened a hair.
Seems like train cars were just "made" to be canvasses for rust! Nice duotonic effect. The lens angle caused some convergence in the seam lines that detracts in a (very minor) way.
