it's lovely that u were able to take this picture, "from above" but i think that the quality of this pic, may have been the downside of taking this picture, while flying. but this pic is still very interesting. the train thing must've come just in time. but nevertheless, good job. :)

I think there really needs to be a greater point of interest in the photo. There is too much haze in the photo, and the train tracks are not prominent enough. When I think of wide angle, I am thinking of a very large, prominent foreground object with a lot of ground after that towards the background, emphasizing the foreground subject. This just doesn't have it.

Where was this taken. Is this VA? Harpers Ferry? Anyway, the colors seem washed out. Maybe its just the haze.

The tree in the foreground is too central.
