Challenge: Vanishing Point (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Canon PowerShot A40
Location: outside in Ontario, Canada
Date: Aug 7, 2004
Aperture: f9
ISO: 50
Shutter: 1/50

 I wish I would have waited 30 more minutes to get a more natural red at the vanishing point. I also wish that the railroad crossing sign and lights were above the tree silhouettes. Oh well.

Overall, I'm fairly happy with this one...

There's just something about trains.

Had you walked up the tracks about 100 yards you could probably make most of the clutter go away. Also, the discoloring on the bottom of the picture (the road?) is distracting.

I love the perspective that makes the rails appear to "float" above the earth

Well captured.The little bit of the glow at the end of the tracks just sets it off nicely. Good luck with this one

Minimalist and bold: I like it a lot. Lovely colour gradation, bottom to top.

nice shot. Perhaps getting lower to the tracks would have put more light onto the tracks getting more distance on them to actually see the vanishing point. <8>

I like this photo quite a bit. I like the horizon color at the vanishing point.

Great colors - and just the hint of the rr track works well. As there is not very much of interest on the sides - I hope you also shot this as a vertical.

too low light level, cannot distinguish vanishing point.

Stunning composition!
Contrast & lighting are right on, as is the tone.
Timing was perfect, getting the reflections on the tracks.
A well-deserved ((8)) and one of my top 13 favorites in this challenge!

I like how you captured the sunset. The way all the trees are dark and rails lightly shine, just enough for you to see. 10

Nice. I think I woul have prefaired it without the crossing road in the bottom. Take it from the other side of the road next time.
