Well, I certainly don't think this is my best shot, but I think it might do well here. These tracks are near Tremonton, Utah. The mountain there is Clarkston Mountain.

Somehow I can't decide whether the tracks work for me or not. Nevertheless, I find the image compelling and very well done.

A fascinating moment of nature's transition between peace and hostility.

Thank you for using interesting composition and not putting the tracks right down the middle! This looks great. It's very eye-catching.

Smart composition with a couple of focus points...

Extraordinary sky. Love the leading lines of the rails. Snow-capped peaks seal a fine photo.

Great lighting. The clouds / sky in the upper left form an optical illusion where you can see the blue as closer, or the clouds as closer. Nice light on the mountains.

Great Shot with interesting color/light contrasts.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very beautiful scene. The colors (look a bit over saturated but) look beautiful and the composition all leads down to that one point, very nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:11:06 PM
great feel for the vastness of this area
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 11:30:59 AM
I like that the train tracks are off center and that the light highlights the snow capped mountains.

This shot would've scored higher for me if the mountain was in focus.

the mountain seems a little over saturated- really nice set up though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 06:16:14 PM
Beautiful scene... but it seems a bit overprocessed... especially on the mountain.

Great sky

Truly stunning photo. Using the RR tracks as leading lines to your (subject) horizon really makes this photo interesting

Beautiful landscape

Amazing color and POV.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

the dark sky towards the upper left kind of spoils the balance of the image for me, I love the leading lines and the light on the mountain, just looks a little overprocessed for my tastes
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice perspective.. and tones.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:43:28 AM
great colors in the grass and in the sky, nice leading lines in the road and in the clouds, too bad the road is not directed to the snow-capped mountain, but we cannot shift these things around, that's beyond normal human powers ;)

I like the colors, especially on the left side of the image.

Great drama and I like that the clouds dwarf the hills

Great scenery, lovely greens.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

First reaction: whoah! That combination of grassy foreground, mountains and sky is jarring! The tracks are a bonus. This pic has it all, but the small DPC print is a crime. I demand a print!

Love the tracks on the right. Gives it a difference from other landscapes. Good lighting. A little over pixelized but still has lots of interest.

The definition of Big Sky. or Big Country! Nice, glowing colors, love how the rails draw the eye into the distance, although they point away from the main event of the snow-capped mountains. Great luminosity in the clouds.

great sky, I like how the clouds leave bring you eye across the photo and it continues with the mountains and then the railroad tracks
