Great shot, just amazing well balanced colors, fabulous forms, a bit soft on the focus on the trailing bird, but dispite the title, these birds speak more of harmony than opposition. If you don't end up between a 7 or 8 it will only be because this can't be shohorned into the challenge, at least not up where it would otherwise belong near the ribbons.

I wish you could have gotten a bit more light on the black handle or lightened the backround behind it to make it show a bit better, but this is one of my favorites of the challenge. good on topic idea well executed.

End of the line

Originally posted by omnibus: Nice capture, looks very slightly tilted (looking at the lettering at the lower left). Just out of curiosity, is the whole boxcar rusted, or is it just faded boxcar red?

The whole thing is just about to break out in rust if it dosen't get help soon, so whil the paint is an oxidized brownish red, anything that sticks out is rusted as well as any scratch or belmish. Sadly it didn't reduce very well, decent print but when I posted it I realised that it lost alot in transition. As to the tilting, I agree and have rotated it a touch.

the tilted frame is distracting and hurts the composition. good colors and on the whole quite good.

a lovely shot with no tie to the challenge.

the white reads as blown out on my monitor and that really hurts the shot

Stong photo, but not too well tied to the challenge. You will loose points on applicability, not on other issues. I wish you could have gotten your reflection minimised , but even so the reflections make the shot.

lol . The title ( which I keep meaning to remember to ignore) makes this pretty good shot, very good.
