I'm finding the same thing. It really stretches the creativity muscles. Perhaps a close up macro of them would have some more impact?

I think a great deal more could have been done here, this is very safe shot, not really risky.

I like this fun shot! (I like Pez dispensers, too!) Great color and the wood texture compliments the smoothness of the...er,...um...plastic. :P Fun shot!

New Ties, Old Rails

Comment by Citadel:
I'd have to say that black and white is a good choice for this subject. Desaturation worked okay here but using the channel mixer often gets far better results. (In GIMP: Filters -> Colors - Channel Mixer...)

I'd agree with colorcarnival in taking a different perspective. Maybe laying on the tracks themselves (if they aren't in use) might be an approach. Rails can convey motion and can conjure up thoughts of travel. Use the rails to take us somewhere.

You also mention you had highlights in the gravel you didn't care for. Shooting from the other side would have made the scene have easier lighting to shoot.

Hopefully these comments will help.
