 Never fails. I always get stopped at this crossing. Good thing I had my camera ready this time!

Not too much processing - mostly levels, Hue/sat, selective color,curves, unsharp mask and a bit of dodge and burn.

I am resisting the temptation to put a little gum bichromate action on it.

Loving the brown tones of the grass and trees to accentuate the rust on the train. Trains sure are interesting to look at even if they are annoying, at least for me anyway.

Don't resist!! I don't know what a gum bichromate action looks like and would love to see!

Kinda like the old adage, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When you get stopped at RR crossing, best to just take pictures. :) Nice composition.

You really should contact some model train mags to see if they need a cover. Great shot!

I really like the colors in this, definitely has a fall/autumn feel to it. Almost looks like it could be a drawing too.

That's funny about wanting to use the gum bichromate action. Go ahead - you know you want to.

I should keep my camera with me upfront instead of in the trunk, I get trains all the time near work. Nice shot!

I love the train shot, it is classic... I lived in Illinois for a couple years, about 25 yards from a railroad track, north of Champaign a few miles. I just got use to the trains rumbling through.
