I like it. Is that lighting from PP, natural light, or reflective light of some sort?

I PP'd on it. = ) Slightly.

I know not everyone will enjoy it - I mean to some it's just train tracks. But I love trains (and everything to do with them) and I love "geometric" photos. The way the light was shining on these as I walked down the tracks that day was just really cool.

Hi Makphoto;

Nice job; almost looks like light-trails...

I think the bits of garbage are a little distracting; would have been tempted to clone them out, but I like the image...

Cheers;

Lee

The colors work very well...I would see what it looks like cropping out the things in the top left. My eyes keep getting drawn to it.

I agree about the shacks in the top of the photo. However, I'd just work on cloning them out rather than crop; it would lose soemthing if you didn't see the rails curving away like that.

Good thing there isn't a third rail there...I hear tell you don't want to PP on those! I like the shot...because I like trains...but I would clone out the little bits of debris that are lying along the tracks and show up as hot spots on this size image.
