Should have saved this for the motion blur challenge! One of my favorite shots. The lighting is perfect. Going in my favorites.

Brilliant. Sometimes the subject just presents itself and sometimes, as in this photo, the photographer seeks it out with the deference and fortitude of a master. You have managed to combine two fantastically composed photographs into one without any great feat of technical ability, just a well-trained eye. 10, 10, 10, 10...plus one.

Very unusual image which deserves to do well....would have been an absolute killer in "Motion blur"

I love the affect you created here with the reflection in the train windows while it was speeding past. This is the most creative sunset pic in this challenge.

Very nice, well-composed and i love the motion. The colour is more yellow to me than orange. 6

This is amazing, how do you get this one. IMO iit will win this challenge and the next one 'motion blur' - I just acn't stop looking at it - 10

Wow, this could also be for the motion (and even parallel) challenge (!). I am very intrigued by the composition. Diagonal lines and parallels make this harmonious. The 'transparency' of the train (or is that a reflection) is also very clever. Whatever, whether transparency or reflection, that tree and the sun and the sign add an interesting focus that makes the photograph. If you were even luckier, a human or animal figure could even be more intriguing. I love it that you thought of this composition rather than just shooting blindly (like me). A ten.

Unique; perfectly blurred. My only nitpicks are the choice of composition and the jagged orange line.

Love the color..nice shot, hope this one does well for you.

guess we could argue about its orangeness, but i like the contrast of the moving train to the crisp focus and the reflection

Interesting planes and lines.

I gather that is the reflection in the train windows? so did you cross enter into motion blur? would have done even better there. Great idea, well done.

Very Interesting image! Nice used of the slow shutter speed capturing the train?, still see the details at the background... If i'm not wrong :D Well done, great shot.
