Hello Mark,

First impressions: Your entry to "Primary Colors" is a nice, clean shot, that meets the challenge, but might have done better if it weren't showcasing only red. Like one of your commenters below wrote, it's interesting how many shades of red one can see in this photo.

Technical aspect: No problems. Focus and lighting are very good. I like all the different colours shown in the shadows.

Composition: The perspective is very normal, which probably makes it less interesting: the caboose is shown in the picture as a person would see it when walking by. The picture fills the frame nicely, although to my eyes it looks slightly tilted to the left. My nitpick here is that there is not really a story being told, or something to hold my attention, thus, it might not be the most effective way to show the caboose.

Overall: Nice, clean picture, good colour, but lacking in excitement (the "wow" factor). By the way, I like your cactus2 picture! The greys are so soft and almost shiny! Good work.

Take care,

Ursula

Did you clean and polish that before you took the photo? Excellent composition.

There are so many shades of red here that it's wonderful. I read into the challenge that we needed or should have 3 colors - so I'm obliged to mark it down for that, but compositionally and colorwise it's nice. I am not fond of the direct harsh lighting but it brings out the colors.

Very red! I would have maybe cropped it even closer, taken of the top and bottom.
