Uhm - wow, this doesn't really need a critique, but hello from the critique club!

This is an interesting picture. My first instinct is to say the curves before the vanishing point may have hurt you a touch. The point is distinct, clear, and obviously meet the challenge, yet the curves create a detour bump on the way.

Composition - I wonder if you had included the tops of the trees, so this way the point wouldn't be quite as centred.

The only other critique I could offer is that the sky seems a touch unnatural. I understand the DPC aesthetic loves beautiful, saturated colours, but on my monitor, the pinks are a bit too much.

This was an excellent picture that did well with voters - congratulations on a new personal best!

If you have any questions, or would like more details on my comments, please let me know through PM

Some might say the colors are extreme, but I like this a lot.

I like the glow on the tracks. It makes them look like they were just heated up.

Great shot! At first I thought the red streaks were light trails and then I realized it was the reflection of the sky on railroad tracks. I really like it.

Great color and choice of location for this photo. The curved tracks, in combination with the high contrast and tone editing (?) create a very interesting image. Well done.

I wish i could see this without the split, or beyond the split, so it's just two parallel sets of track.

I like the colors and reflections; also the choice of the two tracks is great. Overall the picture doesn't have the 'wow' that I'd need to give a top score, but I can't put my finger on why.
