I think this would have more appeal for me without the think border..hmm...

I'd suggest using a smaller border to make it easier to focus on the photography more than the photoshop. With such a small image it's hard to get a good sense of the details.

small photo with quite a large border- unfortunately it won't fare well. Photo appears to have promise...

Comment by Artyste:
a little too small, and a little dark.

Comment by Dr.Confuser:
I would like this better if you devoted your space to the image rather than to the border. The basic image is small to start with and the wide border closes it in even further. Hard to tell but there seems to be a focus issue, too.

Comment by Gatorguy:
I like what I can see. It's too small and you will suffer for that. The border, however, is a major distraction for me. After all that, I give you a 6. If there were no border and the photo was larger so I could see it beter, maybe an 8 or 9.

Comment by Pedro:
you only get a maximum of 640 pixels to display your photo...a 35 pixel border eats up about 15% of your viewing area. So regardless of what people think of your border colour etc, you're not giving them a chance to see the image.

The pic itself is not bad. They call those '255 skies' which means overexposure has turned them white and lost all their detail. In an image like this you're best to underexpose a little, then bring the detail up in post processing (WAY easier in advanced editing using the dodge tool).

Another goofy observation about the title: in general people associate north with up, so this train would appear to be going south, in the absence of any other information to identify it. (learned that in a marketing class once :))

Good luck.

I like the starkness of this shot in B&W. I see a lot of train shots and usually the bright colors are distracting.
