Great shot. This has lovely subdued tones - very crisp too. The background is strange - is it a mountain with subtle skyline?

Nice job on this. Nice effect with the rusty red engine. The sky is pixelated, however, you probably overprocessed the photo I'm guessing.

I wish this image was not so dark. I like it though :)

The color makes the picture seem really worn out. This gives it a more nostalgia look. Composition is interesting. Eyes are lead from the front of the train toward the back. Very nice shot.

I don't mind the desaturation effect, per se, but it seems to have left behind some odd artifacts, like the coloring in the rocks below the rail, and the green left behind in the weeds in the foreground.

Nice shot except for the color defect with the sky

Awesome old train. The treatment given the photo has given a strange hue to the sky above the passenger wagon.

Not sure why the color adjustment Looks a little bit too washed out for me. The train is good and interesting to see. Your 100% on topic for the challenge. Nice going.

This is beautiful. If you'd cropped it a bit tighter at the top it might make it look as though it's still running! I love the neutral background that shows just enough detail.

What a great shot that almost defines the theme of this challenge.
