Congrats on your high score in a very high scoring challenge - this was indeed one of my favorites in this challenge. The blurred background works very well to highlight your subject, and the angle/perspective and detail in the train all contribute to this well-balanced, well-presented composition. Very nice work!
I'm glad this got such a wonderful score. Would have loved to see it on the front page, but you sure can't complain with a 6.757 score can you ? :) Great job.
Gotta be more careful and spend more time on the blur, it´s very obviously done afterwards, particularly visible on top of his head. Rest of the shot I like.
Oh I love this one! One of my favorites! No. . .actually. . .it IS my favorite! I love the character and the look of a "master at his craft" on his face! Fantastic job!
The light on the subject is very nice and the out of focus background tells a little story. Also the golden tone on the subject, both the man and the train, is very nice.
I like this, the diagonal bright train in front. Your subject looks content and captivated in his hobby. There is a good amount of blur in the background to limit the messiness of it but still show it.
