A model train club runs their line of home built trains at a local park. Once a month, kids and adults get a scenic, one mile ride through the park seated on the little cars that are pulled by a diesel or steam driven engine. All for free. The smiles are priceless. Ride as often as you like. . . but you'll have to stand in line again.

Nice shot but I think it would have worked better in black and white (or even selective desaturation?). There just seems to be too much going on in colour.

For me, I would like to see this photo with the bottom track cropped out more, but nice clarity, composition and bright, vivid colors.

This doesn't grab me. Sharp enough and colorful, but isn't very interesting as a composition.

That looks like fun. Weeeeee!

Hehe, must be a lot of fun! Wish you had used a different angle, that would have made it more interesting for me. Also colors could be improved with the use of blending (softlight or hardlight in photoshop)
