This photo is great. Colour where it needs to be, and cleverly lit. Hits the top marks from me.

I voted this up as a 6 in the challenge, quite liked the feel of it. The detail is great, and the red colours add a bit of punch to it. So why did it not score higher? If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably because you can't immediately see a train or railroad in the photo that some folk have looked at it and gone "Duh? does not compute" and voted it their mandatory 3/4 because they don't understand. I mean, for me, this is obviously a train. It's in a train challenge, and is full of dials and whizzamys. Clearly it's a train cab. Even if it's not, surely you'd give it the benefit of the doubt and vote as if it is? It's not really a large logical leap of faith is it? sigh.

Otherwise, who can say?

I can see how this shot would be very personal. You have it now for yourself to enjoy, In a way it could be for the best that it didn't go in to the challenge - how would you know what score you would expect for it? Sometimes it's best not to assign a number. :)
