| The Southern Pacific car appears to be a passenger car and the Santa Fe car appears to be a caboose rather than than being a freight box car. I do like the faded aged effect. |

| Overall its a nice shot to bad you couldn't have moved the trash can, I like fact that it looks like an old color photo. |

| From an artistic standpoint, it's rather bland and uninviting to the viewer. This might have been a good image to experiment with using sepia or other monotone technique to "antique" it and increase the visual impact and match the sometimes imprecise lens and glass plate effect. In this case, the less than precise focus hurts it's visual impact and from a technical standpoint, the lighting could have been better controlled. A good effort falling short in the artistic and technical sense. A little more thought in presentation would have been in order. The author should be encouraged to experiment with the image as mentioned above and enter this image into a print contest - it would probably be a winner. |

| This is an interesting scene, and your choice of processing reflects the idea of yesteryear. I would have cropped the white carriage immediately to the left of the frame out, as it rather draws the eye. I am unsure whether the softness is deliberate, but personally I feel that for this photo a little sharper focus/p-p would have been beneficial. |

| I don't care for the pp on this. I don't think it adds anything to the pic. I think the colors look like they would have been amazing without this antique pp. |

| Nice aged effect - unless this really is an old photo - what did you do post process? |
