Hello from the Critique Club
This is a wonderful photo. One of those photos that tells a story, or the viewer can create a story from. The attention to detail, like the "hobo" bag is wonderful. Terrific perspective as the rail guides the eyes into the back of the photo.
I also find the use of black and white very effective, and gives it a 1950ish feel to me. Good contrast too.
For me, the only thing I would be interested in seeing differently would perhaps be a slightly thinner black border. Overall, a great shot and one to be proud of. |

I cant believe someone wanted the train in the picture! You dont have to listen for the train when you can SEE it!!!
I admit the thumb looked a bit morbid, but the full view you see the hobo stick and it is more that apparent that hes a runaway looking to catch a ride.
I think its a great storyboard. |

Sheesh.........
From some of the lame comments, you would think people had never heard of listening to the rails.........

| Sorry I don't get some of the negative remarks.How is a kid listening for a train thru rail vibration morpid or creepy? Great job. Wished it placed higher. |

| Haha bear. Yes this is an excellent shot. You took the cliche railroad perspective and added a twist on it. The hobo stick almost makes the picture as it gives you the feeling he IS walking the tracks. Excellent job. |

| Great finish Doc! I loved this shot. I am amazed that people think it's "suicidal", LOL. Hell, even I used to listen for trains, and I am DEAF... |

| This is a great photograph, however it terrifies me from a railway perspective encouraging a small child to be around a train track. |

| I don't think this is very funny at all. The composition is well done, but the subject is distasteful. |

| I don't know if you can tell, or if it's just me. The shot seems a tiny bit twisted when comparing the top of the bridge to the border. Don't worry. I wouldn't dock you for that! Awesome depth of field and love the contrast. It's right on. |

| OHMYGOD that is soooo creepy! I thought the little kid's head was smashed open and he lay dead on railroad tracks, not cool. Try someting less scary and realistic. |
