Several of my own shots looked like this. I like the spiral on the bottom. Nice colors too!

I like the left side of the image. I think that it would have looked awesome without the people there. The editing style you did does not really work with people (IMO).

Busy image. Not sure what's supposed to be the main element in the image. Personally, I also don't like the cartoony effect to it, either.

Greetings from the Critique Club:

There is something quite compelling about your creation here, and this comes from someone who really doesn't enjoy 'crunchy' black and white landscapes. It does have an etched look that I enjoy - I also like the clouds, truly like balls of cotton wool.

Some have commented as to how messy this is and I would agree - it is: but something still emerges, the trees keep their identity and somewhat remarkably don't dissolve away into the conspirational camouflage.

I also agree with Brian, I'm not sure we see it at its best in this format. As for the challenge, I'm not sure how well-matched it is to people's expectations of something that wears the label 'Fine Art'...

Accomplished though; no doubt about that.

It has great qualities reminding me of the engraving of Aldorfer. Marvelous movement and composition. 8

Very good use of black and white to bring out those textures.

Comment by MichaelC:
technically good, but I feel it may be a little too busy to be considered fine art, the eye has no central point of focus.

I suspect that blown up as a huge print, this would look quite awesome. It loses something in this format. Very nice.

Lovely duotone and suits the image well. Composition is good but the shadows (front of train) lack a little detail
