Nice colors and contrast throughout. The subject is very interesting, but seems to be shot in a rather mundane configuration imho.

Good composition and contrast. The sky appears to be slightly grainy which detracts from the shot imho.

Great focus and subject on this photo. The background details of the buildings against those on the train are a little too busy though. Maybe some selective desaturation of the of the background to emphasize the subject? Or a lower angle (camera placed near the ground) my have helped to rienforce the scale of the train and eliminate some of the buildings from view? Nice shot nonetheless.

Good composition and subject. The viewers eye is naturally draw from the man, to along the length of the train. Colors seem a little washed out from the bright sunlight though.

NIce picture. I like the composition and focus here. But imho I don't think the b&w is working. There is very little contrast between the roof of the engine against the wall.

I like the texture and detail on the surface of your subject. This also has a very nostalgic feel to it. The picture seems a tad dark though, but I'm not sure brightening it would really add to it anyways. Nice shot.

Good subject. The lines in the car cover's fabric and natural shape of the rear-view mirror really draw the eye across the photo. Lighting and composition is nice too.

Defeated But Still Proud

Good composition and contrast. The high-altitude cirrus clouds really emphasize the feeling of flight that this photo evokes. I found the small bit of cloud near the bottom left is somewhat distracting. But still a great shot.

Landing shot

I like the composition on this shot as the windows naturally frame the 2 points of subject. However, the lighting on the bottom left seems a bit distracting as the forground is caught in the middle between being a sillouhette, and just being underexposed. Maybe the use of flash or selective levels adjustment in photoshop would have helped? Nice shot nonetheless.

When I clicked on this photo, I instantly felt emotion from it. I think it's a good example of how a picture can connect with someone and mean different things to different people. In this case, I think it was the mood and feeling you captured, in context with my memories of my own father.... Anyways, use of b&w for dramatic effect, sillouhette use, and the interplay of light and shadows, makes this very interesting. I like the way the lighting becomes suggestive against the man's face and emphasizes the title. Hope it does well, I'm voting the only 9 i've given in this challenge
