good score, but upon further reflection is am absolutely sure i love this image. it accomplishes what I always try: to make the viewer enter the image and swim around for a bit.

Wow, what really makes this shot for me is how the city is visible in the background with a kind of grimy halo of light above it. Gives an awesome sense of depth for the railway and a bit of grit, which is nice.

Great idea. I think a little higher angle - just a hair - may have wokred better. Still, a very good composition.

Excellent - the city highlighted just "so", the moving train, the red of the station, the curve of the tracks. Excellent.

A very nice shot, well composed and uses the lines to advantage. Beautiful use of light too.

The red of the building makes this work for me. I also think your post shot work is fantastic.

Hey, I knew that was in Sydney just by looking at the colour of the station building - even before reading the station name and seeing the skyline. Nice job in editing.

Love the subdued and dark mood presented here.
The levels and details here are very nice, and the use of the tracks as leading lines that draw my eyes to the glow over the city, all add up to adding this to my favorites. I only hope I can produce work this nice some day.
Very well done!
