Comment by Falc:
The composition worries me here. The building is facing left and the way you have cropped this just hems it in a little too tight on the left edge. Whilst on the right you have tried to get the sweep of the track, but have left a wide open space behind the building.

I'm not sure if you could have moved further back and used a longer lens to get the sweeping track and then have the building positioned more to the right of frame.

As it is everything is crowded into the left 2/3 of the image.

This looks really over processed.

Blown, schmown. I happen to like blown highlights and this is a wonderful picture, in my opinion. It has a longing, but not a sad longing, to it. It's very pure - a dog and his window. It doesn't get much better than that in life.

Thanks for the two comments. The highlights were not blown out like that in the original. I did that purposly trying to achieve a white on white but I guess it didn't work too well.

finally someone finding some way to get the year into the photo so it really fits the challenge w/o the title. :)

i like the spider webs and the way the license plate looks old and worn.

Sorry but too grainy and dark for my taste, gave it a 4.

Off centered is a DPC fav, but the backdrop is just too dark considering the subject is black.

Great choice to use natural light. I think what bothers me about this is the tonal range. Some highlights are blown out to pure white, and it seems that the shadows in the lower right corner of the photo are not quite dark enough. Hmmm... I wonder if your monitor is darker than the rest of ours? If I looked at this on a darker monitor, it probably would look a lot better.

Found the image too grainy for my tastes, though I guess the idea of age was why the technique was used. Way out of focus, too.
