I don't understand the title, but by gum, that isn't half flexible - certainly not quite right!

I agree that this would have been a strong entry. The composition is good, and the colour palette excellent. For the trains and railroads challenge this would probably have been a 6 from me, possibly a 7.

What a lovely photo, and a wonderful story to accompany it. The cross reminds me of the Nowegian flag - love the way the Hummingbird is such an inappropriate qccompaniement to that imagery.

one of the strongest entries in the challenge. A thoroughly interesting image, well composed with a good monotone conversion that displays the textures well.

Interesting shot with well controlled exposure. The composition is good - and tricky in such a confined space, too.

Good perspective - gives the impression of mass, power and strength.

Back to comment. This is one of the stronger entries. The idea is good, but there is perhaps a bit too much steam - in an ideal world you would have cauht the engine driver where there is a break in the steam, and the photo is just a little too dark for my tastes. That said, it is up there in my top 5 of the challenge.

This is a really good concept, but let down in it's execution by the over-exposure to the left . The composition is good, and careful thought has clearly gone into it with the placement of the various lead-in lines.

Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Box Cars

This is an interesting scene, and your choice of processing reflects the idea of yesteryear. I would have cropped the white carriage immediately to the left of the frame out, as it rather draws the eye. I am unsure whether the softness is deliberate, but personally I feel that for this photo a little sharper focus/p-p would have been beneficial.
