Train Rust

[GB1]

Taken on Kodachrome 64. How do you feel about the composition here?

Nice simple composition paired with dynamic, gorgeous colors.

I'd like to see a wider view, specifically more room on top and to the left.

Mr Yuck -- Thks. here's another version. I wish it was wider too, but the plate ended just to the left (see the "train flyby" post I made last week..). It was a bit of a challenge to get these beause my tripod was at its max and I didnt want an angle if I could avoid it

Beautiful selection of colours here GB and a very nice detail you have captured.

I like #2 more, adds depth as you took it at an angle, yet retains the simplicity and beautiful colors, the room above the handle or whatever it is really helps.

I like the composition on #2 better as well. I like how the lines in the box car leads the eyes thru the shot. The colors are great and perfect exposure.

# 2 Fantastic colors!!

[GB1]

Thanks everyone. I guess # 2 is superior... just has more to grab ahold of.

I think old trains are gold mines for this sorta stuff ... if you can get near one w/o trespassing and not getting run over. About 2 min after I snapped these a whistle blew (after the "flyby") and the train started moving.
