Really nice use of selective desat, I like this, looks like it probably took a long time to do.

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1113 images, I gave 93 of them an 8. Your image was one of those 93, placing you well within the top 10% for this challenge.

Some selective desat pictures work really well, others do not. Yours is one of the ones that does. Love it or hate it, this style of graffiti is at times really artistic. Here you have been able to show how the graffiti has injected a bit of colour and life into the otherwise drab subject. Nicely done.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

nicely grunged...

The HDR like editing is applied too strongly in this instance, IMO.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 12:07:57 PM
like the post processing in this one
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 12:03:18 PM
I like the look of the train but not too fond of the sky, I assume this is HDR or fake HDR? Sorry but I am not a fan of HDR.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 11:24:55 AM
love the angle and the post processing
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 10:38:12 AM
Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer. HDR?

Cool colors to draw out the art work.

The HDR works really well for this.

Intense post-processing makes this shot bold. Nice use of your digital tools to produce this image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:52:21 PM
nice subject for hdr.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 05:08:58 PM
Bit to much processing for me but still a good pic.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 04:53:42 PM
Very 'ghetto'. I like it.

Not voting yet.

The selective desat on this is interesting. Not sure the composition is really doing it for me though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 04:12:26 PM
Interesting composition. You have a creative eye.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:43:42 PM
i really like the shadows of the trees on the side of the train.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:25:19 AM
nice pp work to make this stand out
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:12:13 AM
The grain in the sky adds to the graffiti subject. Nice blend and well processed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:59:08 AM
This is too heavily HDR processed for my liking. Interesting shot and angle though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:17:00 AM
I really like the treatment on this well done 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:54:21 PM
intriguing but dont know why
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:25:31 PM
too grainy IMO
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:36:25 PM
Wicked editing!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:26:26 PM
I really like this and I hope you're not taking a beating for it. A lot of voters just don't seem to like this kind of processing. I think the graininess really adds a nice effect. 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:18:09 PM
I dont like the wires but they kind of work here. Weird editing technique but that works to. hahaha. I guess I like it! hahah.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 06:09:21 PM
really like the colors and tones...even the graininess of the shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:50:21 PM
I love this. I like graffiti art and you caught interesting art in an unusual setting. Grain works well. Cool.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 01:57:23 PM
The train looks amazing, great post processing
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:42:16 AM
Great texture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:37:42 AM
I really like the colors and contrast. Good composition with the angled lines. My only nitpick is the sky seems grainy.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 06:14:24 AM
Hmmm... Very intriguing. Obviously a lot of PP in this one. I'm not a big fan of these really unnatural looking HDRs, but the extra PP on this makes it obvious that you were going for a very stylized look. I like it a lot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:37:31 AM
processing is absolutely not my cup of tea; good POV; border is better than in your original image
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:55:54 PM
nice gritty photo, colours and grain work very well
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:16:54 PM
The processing really adds some emphasis to this, imo. So many stories to tell, and only a handful are seen.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:15:41 PM
Interesting editing - especially the sky. A warm and cold image all at the same time. Nice juxtaposition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:00:41 PM
way over done
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:58:38 PM
I like how the image grain adds to the grittiness of the image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:13:46 PM
Tone-mapping always seems to have a hard time with thin lines like wires. I don't know why. You did a good job of containing it, but it still looks a little weird here and there. I love how sharp this is, and, unusually for me, I like the selective desat.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 02:59:33 PM
Later I would be interested on how you got these effects, in other words yes I like it!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 02:56:22 PM
i don't really like the desaturation here, i like the angle and composition, but the flat sky takes away from the shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 02:17:16 PM
Beautiful train wagon. Great post processing, although the sky looks somewhat artificially.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 10:38:04 AM
Great post processing, bringing out the textures. I really like the grainy look.
