Redefining "out of the box"? I'm not sure i care for the result, but I admire the boldness.

LOL! Definitely a good depiction of wind. As a photograph, it's a little bland. Perhaps a more unusual angle or having the paper less in the center of the shot would add some interest. Lighting seems pretty even, though the paper itself has a sort of blue cast to it.

I think you should try black and white for this.

Originally posted by 777STAN: I say it should be Old #9. It would be Old #10, except that the focus is a little too complex for my taste. ;)

You seem to be the only one to notice the blurred background ... good eye! : )

FWIW on the print image I have tried to make the effect a little less pronounced, and added matching blurring through the windows and out the back of the cab, which I didn't bother with for the entry.

I am especially happy with (and surprised by) all the comments on the sharpness and clarity, as this was a handheld shot at an extremely slow 1/6-second shutter speed, and I have a disk full of slightly blurry train shots to show that that this was perhaps as much luck as skill.

Thanks for all the comments and my best score in a while!

I like the detail on this shot. The cropping seems a bit tight, but I don't know that it affects the overall impact. Even though this is "Old No. 7" I think I may need to give it an 8.

Good tight composition and exposure.
