Interesting capture...the stars were hidden and I didn't notice them at first glance. Good sharpness and exposure control. :)

I voted this up as a 6 in the challenge, quite liked the feel of it. The detail is great, and the red colours add a bit of punch to it. So why did it not score higher? If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably because you can't immediately see a train or railroad in the photo that some folk have looked at it and gone "Duh? does not compute" and voted it their mandatory 3/4 because they don't understand. I mean, for me, this is obviously a train. It's in a train challenge, and is full of dials and whizzamys. Clearly it's a train cab. Even if it's not, surely you'd give it the benefit of the doubt and vote as if it is? It's not really a large logical leap of faith is it? sigh.

Otherwise, who can say?

Not a bad score... it's great how the reds stand out. The oldness is also quite evident! But, I definitely would not know that it is a train if it wasn't in the train challenge.

I didn't vote in this challenge, but this so would have gotten a 10 from me just for the humor! How did you not crack up while taking this?

I really like the overlapping triangles of the butterfly wings and the flowers in the foreground; my eyes keep tracing around them.
