 Does someone get it? And does someone like it? Chance shot, not staged. I waited for this guy for a few moments to line up with the trash- it created a nice line. (not that I think he is trash- Oh you get it) The train was going fast and he was not stopping. After the shot I turned to my son (we were there to see the trains) And, when I looked back the homelesss man was gone. The train had only slowed down. I did not see where he went.

Literal translation- the beginning of the train can been seen- Only logic tells us that the ending is near.
My hope- Is that some read into the image more.( not his death or anything) The image is symbolic-I hope one person likes it.

Post challenge: I agree with the voters on this one. It is way, way, way-overworked.

The idea and compositions works well. The processing how ever could be better, it makes items on the picture look like added in post processing.

There is just something about trains and tracks for me. Great processing and lines.

The acid wash does make this slightly more interesting.
