Nice perspective. There are alot of blown out areas that need attention. faster shutter or a smaller aperture may have helped

Adding the flowers was a nice touch.

well done conveying the theme! great eye. I like the point of view here, but I think you over filtered the image.

Nice idea, but the edges are breaking up.

I like the angle of view and the roses alongside the track, but the image looks overprocessed. There are a lot of jagged edges along straight lines, the lighter colors looks strange, almost glowing, and the whole image looks oversaturated. A bit too much of everything.

I like the contrast of the large engine next to the flowers in this image.

The angle, content and composition of this image is good. A train with flowers growing around the wheels works well for this challenge. Oversharpening it to produce a very bad case of the "jaggies" should not have been done. There are several places across the image with overexposed, burned in areas too. This is distracting to an otherwise excellent picture.

Nice photo...but I feel you are stretching the theme of the challenge...you lose points for that.

Good angle, and nice shot, espeically with the flowers to show it's been there for awhile. There's some blowout in the top right corner, though, and the shot's a little blurry on the whole.

an image that conveys silence in an original way but it fades out just a bit too much for me as it moves to the upper right

Nice shot. :) Too bad the locomotive wasn't in disrepair and rusted with weeds growing around it, giving it that "abandoned" look. This engine looks so clean, you'd think it was used daily and wonderfully maintained. Keep it up!
