Brilliant. Sometimes the subject just presents itself and sometimes, as in this photo, the photographer seeks it out with the deference and fortitude of a master. You have managed to combine two fantastically composed photographs into one without any great feat of technical ability, just a well-trained eye. 10, 10, 10, 10...plus one.
I love the affect you created here with the reflection in the train windows while it was speeding past. This is the most creative sunset pic in this challenge.
Wow, this could also be for the motion (and even parallel) challenge (!). I am very intrigued by the composition. Diagonal lines and parallels make this harmonious. The 'transparency' of the train (or is that a reflection) is also very clever. Whatever, whether transparency or reflection, that tree and the sun and the sign add an interesting focus that makes the photograph. If you were even luckier, a human or animal figure could even be more intriguing. I love it that you thought of this composition rather than just shooting blindly (like me). A ten.
I gather that is the reflection in the train windows? so did you cross enter into motion blur? would have done even better there. Great idea, well done.
Very Interesting image! Nice used of the slow shutter speed capturing the train?, still see the details at the background... If i'm not wrong :D Well done, great shot.
