Hi everyone,

Here is one of my train pictures from RailPictures.net (www.railpictures.net). Please feel free to critique.

Thank you very much!

Subject appears to small in the photo. I'd rather see more of the train than the area around it. If this was to be more scenic, that metallic structure dominates the shot and doesn't really appeal to me. I also think the photo needs increased color saturation.

Next time perhaps, use a zoom lens or get closer.

Just my simple opinion......

Welcome to PR.....keep posting!

Thank you very much for your advice!

I have some other pictures that are zoomed in further. I was aiming for the signal bridge in this one.

Thanks again.

i quite like that one.. as u say its not meant to be a just picture of a train but a train in a relevant setting..

the colours are nice.. seen larger it would have more impact.. nice picture..
