This would be a fantastic shot if you had of boosted the colours a bit! Looks very pale! Great capture otherwise!

Great sense of motion.

needs a litle contrast

This seems a little washed out to me, playing with the curves a little might make it pop.

Great shot, I love this kind of photo.

A bit more contrast, darken it just a tad..and maybe just a bit more color...could make it really stand out.

Nice job.

There's some clash, imho: the perspective suggests that the train is moving towards us, its 'head' is larger than tail. But the trails indicate that it was moving away from the camera, right? Call me conservative, but I'd like the two to coincide, not work against each other.

Saturation and contrast should be stronger to separate the train more from the background.

Great blur effect! The slow shutter speed appears to have caused an overexposure. A smaller aperture or a neutral density filter could help the exposure. Post processing could improve the exposure as well: darken the image slightly and increase the contrast. 6

the colors are too washed out. could have benefitted from a bit of post processing, like the motion though. 5.

i think the colors are a little dull on this, also there is nothing really in focus. The blur on the train is perfect. Maybe if you had taken this up by the tree and had a bit of that in focus that would have been better.

Good idea, but looks over-exposed on my monitor (which is calibrated)
 05/02/2006 09:04:29 PM
Interesting idea. Maybe the train would have been better with about half the blur.
 05/02/2006 06:27:33 PM
A good viewpoint. Lacks contrast.

Appears over-exposed; the colors are washed out.

Looks a tad overexposed -- hill and sky look washed out.

A little more post-processing is needed. Looks like a Metro-Rail train in the countryside?

To bright but nice use of the motive
