Good collection of train parts. I like the top frame best. The middle frame seems a tad over exposed, the red seems so bright as to be unnatural (but I'm going to assume the painter found a VERY bright paint). Lower frame has some parts that seem over exposed, too (same silver colored parts). This is a difficult challenge due to the small frames needed. You got close enough for nice details, maybe too close to get a feel for the machinery. Very hard to call (too close vs not enough detail), I honestly think you did pretty well. 7 Rob the Swash

Very nice tonal range; sepia adds a nice feel to the shot.

I think I would prefer this in color - things are blending together a bit here, and I think the sepia tone is the culprit. Interesting choice - very original. Love the movement that the water shows.

i like the idea you were using for this picture. i think that there is to much background to it though it takes away from the boat.

Very nice composition. I wonder what if this wasn't monochrome but apparently this is a choice using it.

interesting and has atmosphere, but do feel that it could benefit from cropping the top, probably to put the departing river at the top third of the screen.

Spectacular colors. Love the crab in the bottom right corner. Also the little white one. A little tighter focus, but a 9, also for original
