Wow! A little post processing there, Don?

Don - Interesting, but too over processed for me. I do find the format of the image quite different.

Thanks guys. It is a bit impressionistic. I use a "painting" filter to flatten it.

I like it, it is an interesting look and an appropriate use of post processing. Did you plan this look when you took the shot or decide to do it while fooling around later?

If anything were to change I would like to see more foreground because I like the color and vertical lines of the grass in the field in front of the train tracks.

Thanks MB. I saw it looking like a wall.

I'm liking all the vertical lines which I think a bit more grass would add to. I do like it as is, just suggesting what you might do if you were going to make changes.

This has a good look to it Don and you have meddled to great effect. The feature of all the poles disappearing into the distance is outstanding as is the colouring; all making for a very interesting image. The two triangles of grass and sky are great too. If this were mine it would be on the wall.

Feel free to print it Grumpy.
