interesting composition, light levels need balancing, using your histogram might be a benefit

Very well done! The picture says a thousand words... the title adds a few thousand more. Way to go!!

Heh, I like the creations in the sky. For whatever reason, it makes me think of Oddysey 2001 and big black monolyths (no, I don't really understand why either...). The plane doesn't quite fit into the picture somehow, I agree with krnodil's comment.

Oh, and I beat you - my Free Study entry sucks more than yours :p

Could you, would you, on a train?

Comment by surfdabbler:
Nice colours, but it's a very non-Seussish train, so for me, it fails to convey the topic. Wow, they must be high weeds to show in the reflection!

B/W conversion hurts this image ... the sky and shopping bags are blown out ... and you've lost the details in all of the dark pants ...

Personally I do not like the stick in front of the girls nose.. and the back of the person on the right is also a bit "obscuring" my vision... would have liked to see more of whats going on behind them.

Okay, normally, I offer what I think to be compositional and technical ideas to help a photographer do "better" with regards to dpc challenges. "Knowing" you though, I already know that you "know" the rules, you simply "apply" them in different ways. Also, unless I am sorely mistaken, you do not shoot for a score, but rather a reaction. So, I am going to give you my 'reaction' on a more emotional level than a technical reaction. If this is not satisfactory, please PM, and I will amend it. But, I have ot say, without the title, I would have been left scratching my head. :)

This shot reminds me of this year's transition from winter (the bare branches) to summer (the sunshine) without the wonderful season of spring (a few buds, but nothing substantial -- as if it doesn't even exist). It is a desolate feeling, but a shallow desolate feeling, if such a thing can exist, simply because the sunshine, be it a sunset or sunrise, seems to be a symbol of better things to come. Everything must come to an end, but in that, new things can begin. It is a photograph that portrays change, both with its hope of what is to come and reluctance to turn loose of what is. It is reaching to a new height, regardless of what might be holding you to the ground.
