I don't see how this photo matches the title...also the tree along the side is very distracting, photo also seems dark to me. 4

such a nice pink sky - "love"? I like the silouette of the deciduous tree - it is a bit busy on the right hand side. I'd crop the bottom to bring the attention more onto the silouettes and the sky.

Beautiful photo, but I don't see it as a literalism. Like it though.

Very cool shot overall! I love the beads of dew on the spider web and the large droplet. Almost makes me wonder if it's natural or if you had a spray bottle handy, LOL! I'm not sure about the black and white in this shot though I am starting to love balck and white more and more this is just a bit too dark for my taste, I would like to see this one in color. Started at a 6 but am going to an 8

Upside down this photo looks much like a doorway to another land. Nice job with the implied lines and I really enjoy the shapes that are projected on the edge of the large water drop.

While this shot does have some wow factor, the tightness of the crop and lack of detail really detract from it's appeal! Also, I think I would like to see it in color. I do like the tiny drops on the spider webs!

Hello from the Critique Club:

First, I really like your take on an often used subject, it has a nice freshness to it. The composition and perspective are excellent, the use of the right-hand rail to lead the eye into the infinite horizon works perfectly for me. I do wish a bit more of that rail was visible in the photo leading towards that top corner, but it works very well as is. I think the use of natural light is great here as it gives almost a tracer light up the rails, helping to guide the eyes as well.

The focus is spot on, on that wooden platform at the beginning of the photo, though I am of two minds about its use (the platform) - in general it makes an excellent point for the eye to begin its travel down the track, and is used very well for that. On the otherhand, taking infinite in consideration, it also serves to cut off the repetitive aspect of the train tracks, and thus removing some of that infinite nature, ie: no beginning & no end. I didn't think of this point of view with my submission either, but it was pointed out and I find it a valid thought.

I really enjoy the detail and contrast shown between the smooth but worn wood and the crumbly dirt & stones - it helps solidify depth in the photo - there are only a few major players in this image and your attention to all of those details really shows. This is an excellent photo. Well done.
