The Railroad Runs Through It

Please view large. Views from the edge of the road often turn out to be

more interesting than the iconic ones where the majority tread. The

perspective, tracks, and stream appealed to me in this one. I value your

input. Thanks in advance for commenting. Larry

I would have to agree with you that side of the road gives much needed perspectives. I love how the clouds "hide" the mountain and soften the middle.

WELL DONE.

Well done composition.  Nice clouds and lighting.  Sharp details.  Best Regards,

Hi Larry,

  Wow....beautiful image with wonderful colors, composition, details & stunning background to boot.  It doesn't get any better that this.  Take care, Patsy

The larger view is impressive in terms of detail and light and the three meandering elements of railroad stream and power lines make interesting companions and draw the viewers eyes deeper into the scene.  The low cloud looks great, but on the larger view the edges appear to have lost thier misty fluffy kind of texture, I have a feeling this could be due to sharpening?, and whilst the rest of the scene looks fine with the sharpening that has been applied, maybe the clouds could have been sharpened to a lesser degree.

Of course I could be totally on the wrong track, but I'm sure you will let me know : - )

Very well done Larry, maybe a bit more fine tuning!

Best Regards

Alf

Not much more to add. I do like the 'natural' look and the low lying clouds in the distance. Your title does remind me of a movie "a River runs through it" that I enjoyed viewing many years ago.

Alf,  

Actually, the sharpening you surmised about is likely an effect of this being an HDR.  Using Davis' tutorial (on PN) I "semi-manually" created the HDR.  Thanks as always for your comment.

Tony,  

So, where do you think I got the title - from that Montana movie, "A River Runs Through It."  Thanks for your visit Tony.

A very nice scene. Well captured!
