My first submission.. man, I thought taking the picture would be the hard part, but it's not. It's deciding which one...
Posting this because I want comments -- so do your worst.
A junction in rusty, rarely-used tracks behind a Coke bottling facility. They use them once a month or so - to transport three cars of corn syrup, bearing 18,000 gallons apiece.
This is a re-take of a picture took a while ago on a cloudy day. Used a polarizer this time, and the nice clear day yielded bright colors - bluer than blue sky, rustier than rust tracks. Nice, but I liked the moody feel (and more diffuse light) of the previous shot. Nonetheless, I still think this is a cool shot.
Looking forward to more challenges.

I like the idea, but I am a little lost on what it is. A train? I think a little more focus would still have driven the point home, maybe more interesting too.
I assume those are train tracks? I'm not really sure I get what you're trying to do here with the DOF or the subject matter. What is in focus just doesn't seem interesting to me. On the positive, I do like the way you composed the elements into the frame. I think it works well centered.
I'm staring and staring. I keep waiting to vote on this one because I can't decide what I think of it. I think I've figured it out, but I'm still pondering the excess blur on the train as well as the tracks up close. I guess I like it. The colors and balance are superlative and the subject is well centered although I wasn't sure what the subject was for a while. Gotta move on so I'll vote now. Nice job.
I can see where this is centered, but the out of focus of the rest of the picture just kind of detracts my vision of the focal point which.....to be honest, really doesn't seem like much to be focused on. I do "get" where you were trying to go with this, but it just doesn't work for me, personally.
first glance seems too abstract... takes long enough to realise what it is... then suddenly it makes sense :) Hope that train wasn't moving - could be a dangerous place to leave your camera!
