Comment by Imagineer:
Interesting subject. It's a good choice if you have no city or typical urban stuff to shoot. The tone is a bit overpowering and it could do with a touch more contrast as the sepia has filled in much of the 'white' areas.

This is very unique shot. I bet in it's original state it wouldn't be as dramatic as it is in inverted format. It almost looks like an x-ray of a train. The colours are great - subtle browns and oranges with hint of blue oposite colour. The detail is also amazing, considering this is a negative. Good diagonal composition.

the use of negative does make this feel a bit dreamy and the title is a kick (good Idea) 7

Depending on your town, this could be right in the center of it -- it was in my hometown. Sepia does nothing for this photo -- I would have loved to see it with the blue sky and wispy clouds. It could use a perspective adjustment too. (Is that legal in DPC?)

The negative effect is decent, but it also adds a bit of business to the photo, losing its point of focus.

I like the composition, what did it look like in color?

Comment by soup:
kind of flat tone wise
selective color adjustment might have helped keep some tonal range in this.

Ah BACK TO THE FUTURE TRAIN!! Very nice! The lighting effect makes it even more dream like though just a touch to bright for me.

Not sure what the original colors were on this one and that might be why you changed to sepia but in sepia they almost blend in together and you lose the overall effect of the buildings themselves. The tall silo in the center does stand out but not a lot, more contrast would have gotten a much higher score for overall quality on this shot.

Nice shot...I almost did something similar to this.
