Critique Club Review
Composition - The train tracks really make this picture I think. The train and the people are somewhat interesting, and the tracks lead the viewers to them well. The mood is well set with the dreary hazy weather. The only technical flaw I can see is slight and rotating the picture 1 or 2 degrees counterclockwise would fix it.

Photography - This picture has just a little more exposure than I would use. I think a tad darker would make the mood even drearier. Everything seems a little out of focus, and i think that actually adds to the pic. The people are like faceless drones, who could be anyone, taking the train to work on any given morning.

Overall - I think this has well represented the challenge. It is a good representation of some people's doldrums in the working world doing the same boring thing at the same boring time at the same boring job. Its not flashy or even particularly intriguing, but it is a slice of life that exists to many people and is a solid image. - Inspzil

It's really hard to comment on a good photo. How many ways can you say "I like it.", "It's a good photo", If they're good it's obvious the cropping is good, the focus is good, the subject and composition is good, the lighting is good, etc. Just say "This is a good photo technically and otherwise and I like it. And here's a 9. " PTL

I found it too buzy at first but I find it very interesting now. I like the curves and the lines. Nice capture. Jacko.

Interesting angle, I like how the tracks cross together in the front. I would've tried to crop out or find an angle which didn't include the mess at the top, though.

I like the curves, color accents and overall composition for this one. - z

thumbnail star....... your standing right on the tracks, implies stalking this scene. It is good though...... rigid lines of tracks, the metal, imposing train car - contrast with the snow/fog and people.
