 Railroad trains have a much larger mass relative to their braking capability, and thus a far longer braking distance than road vehicles. In general, trains do not stop at level crossings but rely on vehicles and pedestrians to clear the tracks in advance. Source Wikipedia

For this composition I propose the Railroad Crossing and wait for the train to add an interest

Hope you will enjoy

Hello from the critique club

An interesting image that partially fulfils the challenge

In terms of the challenge brief ‘lines and circles’ the image does not convincingly fulfil the brief, the lines are implied and evident but the circles are absent. They could be interpreted in the shapes of the train and crossing lights but they are very superficial and not readily implied in the image. A much better translation would have been a close up of the wheels against the track this would have met the challenge head on and probably produced a graphic image of great potential. The image as it stands is quite a pleasing record shot of a train approaching a level crossing and suitably composed.

Thanks for your entry Marcel
