Looks more like a park than a garden but I like how the lines of the table, the fence and the horizon line all lead your eye to the only splash of color the playground. It looks a little underexposed though. That snow is looking more grey than white. 5

I don't see any purple....? Wee bit outta focus on the train carriages, undoubtedly because it was moving.

I LOVE this picture, but I just don't see a lot of purple. Maybe it's my monitor...I'm guessing the sky could be purple... I love the old timey feel to it, and the border is really cool.

Hello, I have made it a point for this challenge to comment on every photo that I scored under a 4.

I scored this photo a 3 for the following reason(s):

1. Lack of challenge color. Even with a longer look at this photo than the usual few-second voting pass, I fail to see any real purple in this image. The cars look like they may have been purple, but the coloring here (due to the warmth of your white balance), has been muted to the point where they are more a dark grey than purple.

2. Blur. Although your title would suggest that you were going for motion blur on the train, it really just looks like you missed the focus. You need to either put the camera on a tripod and put a lower shutter speed so that the train moves past the lens more to get more blur on the train, or you need to pan the shot so that the train remains solid, but the foreground/background are motion blurred. Either method would have resulted in a more pleasing end product for me.

Doesn't scream out purple to me, but a great composition. Maybe try panning as it goes by to get focus on the subject and off the surroundings?
