Live the first shot and agree about the second, though it might be that there is no point of focus.

Like the first one very much. Bit worried about where you were standing to take them though! Shocked Health & Safety and all that. Hope you had a fluorescent jacket and hard hat on. Very Happy

Really good image that first one, really makes me look down that line, and look behind to see what's coming - like it a lot.

Agree with you on the "busy" of the second

first shot is fab; great work on the conversion too.. if you were to take a shot like that in the uk you'd likely be arrested for trespass Sad

Gilly love the first shot and agree with john about the conversion (nice job). Even though I agree with your own verdict and others about the second been to busy, I do like the contrast in colour between the poles and the sky.

Love the first one Smilie_PDT Classic composition with converging lines leading the eye into the distance. Clean and balanced, and the single colour helps to knit it all together. Very nice.

The second one really has too much going on. With the rails being harder to see, this lacks the impact of the first one.

Comparing the two images is a testament to the adage that 'less is more'.

That first one is great Very Happy

The first one is terrific,,, can't really add anything that hasn't been said, but the lighting, the duotone, the compostion... this is one I wish I had taken myself. Beauty.
