I took the PATCO hi speed line over the Benjamin Franklin Bridge one Sunday morning in November. I saw the city skyline to the left and shot the rear window of the last car of the train, hand held.
I really liked how this turned out against the original. It was extensively edited due to muck on the window. But it came out clear enough for me and I am happy with the result. I used a bit of Topaz but on a separate layer at a lesser than full opacity cause it just looks to Digital Arty at full strength. Couple of three good crops as well. Hope you like it. Not sure how well it will do.
Bad timing, too. I entered this in December on Imaging Resource and it came up today, 01-21-2010. If you saw it, mums the word! OK?

It doesn't have a huge amount of the magical "wow-factor" that everyone talks about, but there is something about this shot that really grabs me. The slight blur implies that I am viewing this from a moving train and examining the details of the city as it goes past my window. Well done.
Very interesting angle.Like the way the right side with the metal arch wall contrasts with the wide open city scape on the left..together with the sense of speed via motion blur. It has a strange feel to it which works. place me in the pic and it feels like Im moving with this
Excellent view of the city. Love the clouds, the composition is spot on (nice that you made the yellow rail such a bold element), and the color is terrific. Great job! 9
