I originally planned this for the desat challenge, but realized that I took this shot one day too early!

These railroad tracks played a huge part in my childhood, as I spent many, many hours walking them. I recently visited again, and discovered that they were no longer being used and the forest/swamp around them had grown up (not unlike me)

This photo is fairly straight forward. Edits are:

75% USM x 3
Desaturate
History brush 100% opacity toward end of track
History brush 50% opacity towards back of track

Colors are natural, i.e., no saturation tweaking

You've made something special from am average scene - and done it very nicely. The tunnell effet and the blue sky are great.

this would look nice in B&W or sepia tone.

Wow, the lighting here is surreal, and the composition is excellent. Did you try a polarizing filter to darken the sky a bit?

I would like this better if there were a longer exposure and greater depth of field. It is certainly a beautiful scene with nice lighting and nice perspectives at play.

Don't know if I am right, but maybe, just maybe with a deeper dof this would have been even more stunning. Then again, maybe not. That's why I shoot so many pictures of 1 object, I can't decide :)

Nice color and soft focus. The front (bottom) is a little dark. The interest is not overly engaging but it is nice.

I feel the trees at the back and the bend in the track should be in focus, whereas now the focus is more to the front.

I would like to see this with a greater DOF
