What an interesting intersection of transport, wheels, sounds, sights... Great shutter speed and colours. 10.

That little bicyclist makes the shot for me. That hint of movement by the train is great. This might be fun in black and white too. 7

I really like the photo. I could have done without the bicycle (others may think it a good thing), it does seem a little tilted to the right. But, I like the lighting, colors, subject of the train and the motion. It still meets the challenge...to bad it wasn't in 'Action II'.

Thanks everybody for your comments, I also liked the image... maybe people got tired of chess pictures too; that's why so low score :) Never mind!

In my opinion different cameras give different tones: I love how nikon produce the yellows but olympus give You also INCREDIBLES colors and very REAL: so if You have a good woodboard then You get good results :)

Basically my pp is pretty common: cropping, levels, curves, contrast (using unshrap mask) , a little warming, a touch of color balance in LAB mode...and size and sharpening, thats all.

I forgot: lenses also help :)

This is some beautiful playing cards, I am jealous you have them. The tonal effect is also lovely, I'd be delighted to learn how you got this within the basic rules. I hope you'll show us, or at least PM me and tell me :-) I'm searching for the magic basic-legal glow effect myself :-)

Love the way the colors and light match the antique quality of the subject. Also, not a candy or drill bit in sight. :)

I really like the set up, but I tend to lose the cards on the right side in darkness and don't catch much detail on the pieces other then the white pieces.
