Winter Tracks

Besides cloning out the wires and getting a lower perspective, what else could I have done to improve this shot. Just having some fun today; four shot HDR with a littel brightness/contrast/sh​arpening after

I see what you were going after, but the shot is too plain. I would try moving closer to the bridge.

Yes, it sure didn't look that far away with the naked eye. Next time I will get closer.

it's also more interesting when a train is coming lol

BTW i do like the subtleness to this.

Looks too smooth, all the details seem to be gone. Did you use noise reduction software on it or something?

The bridge looks like it is off to one side, would think the tracks would be down the center of it, but could just be the way it looks from there.

What's that giant distracting blob, near bottom, just right of center? I know it's not, but it looks like the world's largest sensor dust spot.

Yes, too much noise reduction - good comment

The tracks are off center

Thanks for the comments.

Lol, I believe that is a hole made by my tripod leg - I was moving it around trying to center the tracks!

I don't think these are active tracks at this time, thanks for your comments.

It was fun to get out and shoot; I was having a good time trying live view with the histogram on and using the cokin pro holder and gnd's.

Here is a cropped version

I like the cropped version MUCH MUCH better.
