A train's view

I'm not sure I see the charm. The color is kind of interesting but it captures little that's special about being on the train to Machu Picchu...

 

I am wondering if the color in your photo is reflecting the natural color of the out side of the train. If that is it. I really like your photo!!!!!!!!

Nothing special about it. Maybe nicer if focused.

I think it's an intriguing photo - the dark interior of the train and it's passengers and the wild colors outside the window. I not sure that it needs to convey anything about the "train to Machu Picchu" - if that were your intention, I'm sure you would have taken the photo out the window.

This is a fantastic shot, no more no less. My intial response was this is a psychodelic version of Peru. An Indian face of a woman and light behind the window with absolutely handsome transitions into deep blacks in the corner -- it's just so novel treatment I cannot find right words. And there are so many levels for interpretation here, the movement versus the stillness, the vibrant colors and light against the darkness, the youth versus maturity -- this shot gives me hope there are still shots nobody has ever taken. My sincere congratulations.

Thank you, m.v. This is one of my all-time favorites, and it was that already immediately after I got the Kodachrome roll developed. For a long time I enjoyed it without knowing exactly how to explain it, and now you've helped me to find it out.
