The City Train

I thought the colors were great. What do you think? Any and all comments, critiques,

and ratings are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance - Lex

i like the colors too ! but maybe not so dark.. yet so the sky is great ! ;)

Yeah, I tried to over saturate just a bit so that they would come up right on the web, but I think I over did it a little bit. Thanks for stopping by - Lex

revised version

wonderful colours! a pity that you had to cut away part of the back of the train!

yeah, the next train section cut it off for me. Maybe next time the train will stop in a better place for me to take the photo. Thanks for stopping by - Lex

Looks great as the revised version. nice colours and contrast regards Carl

Looks so powerful, yes, the colours are beautiful..I like original better though.

These eyes are staring at me ?! :)

 

Beautiful rich composition very well executed. Fav ! Congrats !

Alexa, this is really nice! I like the composition and your colors are rich and saturated. Nice work! Doug.

Thanks everyone. I didn't even notice the "eyes". - Lex

As the "eyes" were, sideways, refering to mi post...

Friendly Yours !

I like the image a lot, but have just three "complaints":

 

1. Boring POV,

2. Too cropped (bottom of train car missing), and,

3. Image posted is rather small (only 652 px high).

 

The brown side-tracks details is awesome despite your all-in-one lens. How super saturated is this photo?

I have another pov that I'll upload next which I don't think is as boring. The crop was due to the next section of the train. You can see a bit of it in the photo. Next time I'll have to try to find a walking bridge which is closer to the end of the train. I guess I put this one up first because I really love the colors and the lines. I know I upped the saturation and the contrast a bit but not too much, I was trying to bring out the clouds a bit more with that. As to the image size, it looked large enough to view on my screen so I didn't see any reason to upload a large image. Thanks for stopping by and when I get the next train photo up, I'd love to hear your comments. Thanks again - Lex

I like this! I like those pretty dark tones, because all colours are so rich. Sky looks also so dark and good. I think this is good work Alexa, thanks for sharing! :)

Thanks E it's always great to hear what you think. - Lex

I think you did a very good job here. Actually I like the "dark" feel you've got here. I'm not bothered with that cutoff at the bottom because it's hardly essential to the rest of your photo. For me your POV looks just fine. I don't think you overdid anything here.

Thanks Ton! I'm glad you like it. I love the colors too - Lex

I'm with Ton! I don't find the POV boring, I like the darkness of the photo, don't find the "end of the train" framing to be an issue, and I LOVE the amount of saturation you chose to use.
