Hi Susan, I got another photo from you for the Critique Club, it's great! :)
I have to say that I voted your photo a 7, because I liked it then, and as I come back the this I confirm that you did a very good job :-)
Composition
GREAT use of converging lines. It's really very well placed, and the tracks add a very interesting touch. As said below, it could have just a bit more breathing space to the right, but your intention was to focus on the train, so you succeeded.
Processing
The selective desaturation is very well done, leaving just the blues and the rust. It gives a colder look to the image, and still you can see some colour in it.
Contrast is great, and you can feel the texture through the photo.
One thing that you could have done different is the aperture. Shooting at f/22 gets really soft, especially for a UWA lens.
Then, just leaving more space could have gotten you a higher score, but that's just guessing :)
Congratulations on a very strong photo!
If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Joao |

| Nice use of leading lines and the fog/mist in the distance helps with the forlorn/abandonned feeling here. Very well seen! |

| I guess you could call this stop motion? (that was a joke)... I like this one a lot for the feel of cold/wet and the colors. Very nice. |

| Pretty good, but I'd like the rails and their vanishing point to be more prominent, probably by taking the photo from a point to the right and farther back. |

| I really like the leading lines in this shot, and how they fade into the blowing snow. |

Fantastic contrast between color and greys. Great converging lines, I just feel the picture would be perfect if vanishing point wasn't so close to the edge.

| Like the feel of this. Muted tones work well. |

| I like the monochrome feel this has and that your eye is drawn to what's in the distance. |
