Good composition and choice, but the picture looks a bit washed out.

Subject is great but the contrast is terrible. It looks really flat with no really dark or really light areas.

Not a great choice of picture to use - some of the hues in the yellow and red look to be missing from the desaturation process when the green was removed. Rated 6.

nice use of the challenge. the only thing i would recommend is to increase the contrast just a tad.

Very nice work on the desaturation. I think if the entire passenger car was left in color it would have helped create more of a concrete "subject" in this photo. Great work regardless.... 7

This could use a contrast boost. Other than that, nice capture. 7

This shot has some excellent potential...I like the lines and curves, and the yellow really pops. There does seem to be a bit of a haze. Maybe a stronger contrast adjustment could help. Another DPCer also recently told me of a way to use USM to reduce haze...that would be effective as well. The three light-colored poles in the foreground try to compete for attention from my eyes...maybe clone them out or a higher crop? Some might be put off by the centered composition but I think it works just fine for this shot. Very nice capture. :o)

The composition really grabbed me, and the yellow sets the hook. Very nice.

Really interesting idea.

excellent idea and excellent photo
consider doing an alternate version where you desaturate the cars on the track too.
nice work.

Upping the contrast would have helped pop the colors.
