Love the image. Hate the title.

Broken track going nowhere

This just doesn't say "train track" to me. Perhaps it's a trolley track? But there's so little context to carry the idea in the image...no real point of interest once the rail is seen to keep me looking.

Abandoned Tunnel

Comment:
Nice concept to have the train framed by the tunnel...looks like it took some patience to capture the train in the right position. The story is broken, however, by the realization that the tunnel is not the tunnel for the train...unless it's running on rubber wheels. Image also appear washed out on my monitor...would like the blacks to be black.

Nighttime Blur

I like the lighting and mood of this image but the concept of "train" is lost in the long exposure...it could easily be just an elevated highway as anything else. In addtion, the size of your model in the frame seems to dwarf the the city creating, for me, an impression of looking at scale-model of a city. Sorry, maybe I just had to be there.

Union Terminal

I like the sweep of the tracks and the way they lead to the interestingly shaped building...but the empty sky takes away so much.

Nice way to isolate a concept. I like the grain of the image. The crop feels a little awkward, though...especially with the inclusion of the element in the upper right corner and the cut-off of the most foreground spike.

Old No. 7

I like the way you've worked to begin to isolate the subject. I feel, however, that there's too much going on in the image as a whole for me to know where to focus my attention. Several ideas yank my eyes around, the "7," the fire, the light on the cab, and then the lovely "S" curve of the pipes emerges...

Nothing emotive or compelling here for me. I feel your colors are disturbingly off...washed out with a yellow cast.

Interesting find for a subject.

Shay No. 7

I like the smoothness of the highlights on the engine...gives it a surreal feeling. The smoke is a big plus but the non-descript sky brings it down. I wonder if the background elements were softened and muted into wispy shadows if your subject would carry the impact it deserves...
