Although this photo is interesting, a mix of contrasts, angles, and circles, it is very hard for me to relate this to railroads or trains. Yes, I was able to pick out the rails in the forground behind the cross braces, but if I didn't know what I was looking for, I don't know if I would have spotted them.

An interesting photo, and looks good in sepiatone. I would have cropped the left of the photo to remove the people and car. I don't think it adds to the photo, and it takes away the nostalgic look I think you were going for.

Emblem on Restored Station

An interesting find. They just don't make buildings the way they used to! I like the contrasting colors of the emblem and it's surrounding stone work.

If only I had rubber tires.

Ahhh. The beloved, yet no longer needed caboose. Wanting to be useful, but relegated to standing still as a relic of the past. I like this photo. The colors are nice, but the sky is a bit overexposed which detracts from the overall impact.

Union Terminal

I think this shot is trying to show too much to be very interesting. It's obviously still a busy trainyard, but there is nothing specific to focus on. The sky seems to wash out the upper portion of the hills as well which distracts from the overall contrast.

Hey, this photo is dark and grainy! But you already knew that.... An interesting shot, and I'm not sure what would improve it. From my perspective, the engine, or car to the left looks "pixelated". If there was a way to get more clarity of the train, without losing the motion blur I would have bumped it up. Good job.

The Hobo Route

An interesting bridge and a nice centered composition. I don't hold to that everything must use the "rule of thirds" mantra. This image looks great centered. I like the contrasting colors and the sharpness of the image. My one "nitpick", with all of the symetry going on, it's a shame the bottom tie was tilted. If you had cropped the roadbed out of the bottom, it might have masked that a bit more. Overall, a good photo.

Don't we all wish it were that easy to get a ride in the engine. I like this image, great DOF, good expression, and funny. I wonder if it would have had a bit more impact if the engine were a bit closer. Good job!

Nice photo. I like the use of light and shadows here as well as the vanishing point of the rails.

Gratuitous Kid Shot

I really liked this shot. My kid isn't into trains, but what a great costume. I think if you had changed the perspective point so that he was farther away and centered in the track, we would have imagined Thomas puffing down the rails. I may have bumped it up a point or two but you got a good score none the less. Good job.
