Night Train
by kevrobertson

Comment by blindjustice:
This shot is so great on so many levels. First you have that awesome texture to the train going by and the platform. Its very "logan's run" sci-fi, but the you have the element of the woman with the umbrella. Thats just a ffantastic compositional element, simple and perfect. an umbrella at nigh and it isn't even raining, so far as we can tell.

one of the problems with people giving reviews at times is that they lose sight of the forest for the trees... they comment that your shot is crooked or grainy or a bit too light or dark. THose are the things that make your shot special in most cases, and the comment applies only if the shot is used as a print or in a magazine or formally. Only one shot will look like this one and for a reason.

Oh yeah, and another thing, I know that in life you can't pick your nicknames, but if I could, mine would be "Night train."

I thought your shot was technically excellent and I gave you a 7.

I thought the depth of field was well executed and the composition was solid.

However, like the other commenter, it lacked a sort of emotional oomph that I think it would need to put it over the top witih the voters. I'm not sure how to say that would be accomplished with this subject - perhaps more of a demonstration of the forged strength of the objects featured or comparing them to plastic or some other inferior material.

Great job at making this photo feel like it's moving. Now if only you could get a sexy woman down there... :^)

Typically I bristle at a macro shot with very little depth focus. But this looks very intentional ans definitely defines the image. Nice job on the single focus and attention grab.

I like the feel of movement, but would like to see more in focus.

Interesting choice of DOF though the nut on the left seems to be a little too close to the left edge and too far from the bottom of the image.

Was a zoom type blur used on this? Seems to vibrate a little which is typical of that technique. There are leading lines but the bluring lessens their importance. I like the image except for the blur - its very interesting. Love the conversion to B&W.

really like the blur on this image....it jumps out and looks as though the whole thing is in motion.
