I really like 3 & 4. In number three, I might have tried to have the lone protruding spike in focus, but it may not have worked as well for other reasons.

Gator, I thought about that too after I got home and looked at the pictures. Honestly, I held the camera close to the ground, hoped it was straight enough, hoped it was focused on something, and pressed the button lol. I got lucky that any of them were in focus. I wish I would have taken more care to get exactly what I wanted, but I was in nice clothes lol. Overall I was VERY happy with all of these. Sure they're not perfect, but I'm happy. Thanks for the comment!

Hi Dufrenbk, Don't get me wrong, I think the pictures are stunning...it's only the kind of thing I would have noticed when I got home too...:D

I wouldn't call it "something wrong", but between the similar views of 3 and 4, I like the shallower DOF of 3. The sepia application gives it a nice feel, too.

I maybe would have tried using a filter on # 1. Seems a little to bright. Excellent composition on all photos though! I never get tired of these types of photos. Good work!

I really like #2 and #3!

If you are asking for us to nit-pick then the lens flair in #1 is distracting to me and I can't quite put my finger on what I don't like about #5. I think its the reflection off of the other rail making the photo unbalanced?

Funny about the car in #2. I didn't even notice it at first but it would have been a little better with out it in the frame.

Great shots.

Yep it's a train. I watched it for a while before I started shooting. I'm almost positive it wasn't moving. If it was moving, it was going verrrrryyyyy slow.
