there is so much I like in this picture, the young man in the rear window, the curve of the tracks, the photographer on the platform, your POV (did you stand on the tracks?), your title

Stunning sharpness despite the speed... very well done! The classic car with it's clear colours, the reflection and the diagonal lines make it even more awesome. This will end up on the front page!

you spotted a cool motif! I like it, but I doubt it would have been good for the challenge. Voters might not see it as a classical portrait.

This was my only 10 - crop and vignette are stunning!
It makes me wonder if that gentle giant was standing there waiting for something, if he/she was walking away or munching some grass...and I like the vastness of the surrounding

Maybe I like your picture that much because it remembers me of one my own pics, here is a link if you are interested:
gentle soul
It is accompanied with a childrens poem, this is a rough translation (at least I tried):


Highly sensitive

The elephant is big and tall
But gentle is his nature
His heart is made of creamy quark
His soul is tender like a violet

Once this big, tall elephant
It wasn’t on purpose , I swear!
Stepped on the circus director’s hand
They both wept bitter tears
