PhotosGuy Cream of the Crop, R.I.P.  More info | Apr 14, 2010 09:54 | #2 Nice shot, but... I'm headed back in the morning The problem with shots like this is too much landscape & not enough train. Maybe early light will take some emphasis off the buildings. FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...

Rivman Goldmember  More info | . . . nice capture - maybe a tighter crop to lose all the buildings in the foreground (along with a few of the rail cars) that are distracting and put the emphasis on the bridge, water and the train ? Randy, Gear - 3 in the green, and a T5i with a few lenses !

More info | Apr 16, 2010 06:41 | #9 Nothing wrong with experimenting a little. Both photos could benefit from slightly different framing, but that is part of the beauty of shooting digital. You can quickly snap off both a horizontal and a vertical shot.....and see which gives you the most appealing visual impact. People that know me call me Dan

It's even more impressive when you realize that, in just 5 short miles, the train in the second shot will be at the same elevation as the top of the cliff in the background (and the train is only half way up the hill at this point)! There are way too many "wedgie" shots out there; it's nice to see a little variety! Exactly!!! Your camera is alot smarter than the "M" Zealots would have you believe
