early morning train

Wow. Yet another train photo. Yet another good photo. The black and white effect is used to good effect. My only gripe is that the train is a little too dark - yes, I realise this is probably beyond your control. Perhaps a fill flash might have helped a bit? Good otherwise though.

Comment by FranziskaLang:
challenge met. interesting idea. i like all the different snow/ice chips and then just the frozen leaf. you got a very good color for your snow/ice, white, but not blown out. personally, i would've cropped this as a landscape around the leaf to give it more prominence in the photo. i also don't really like your frame, there's nothing black in the photo, so the black frame is a little stark in my opinion. it also seems to be wider at the top and bottom, which i find distracting (unless it's wider at the bottom and you have text in it, i do that a lot). for the challenges here, even width all around works better IMO.

Interesting image. The little splash of colour is nice. The border seems overbearing though, especially the thickness at the top and bottom.

Excelent focus and clarity. I really like how it's all white except the leaf. The small splash of color is very nice. I like the placement of the leaf within the photo. I like the composition very much. Lighting conditions are just perfect. Great find. Good luck in the challenge.

The leaf IMO should be a more dominant part of this image. - Inspzil
