This has been a most frustrating exercise. I had the concept in my head but just couldn't get the desolation I wanted from this location or any other. Dodging commuter trains didn't make it any easier.
In the end, I went with this shot and set about seeing what I could do with it to give it a desolate or unreal feeling. Honestly, the original shot is just not good enough but by colourizing it with a sort of dirty unkempt colour, I am submitting it. About two hours ago with no time to try a re-shoot, I was going to withraw my entry in Branch on the basis of "near enough is not good enough"
Post-Production Adjustment Layers: Contrast +10, Colorized, Hue 30, Sat 27, Lightness 0
Reduced to 640 pixels, mirrored, slightly over sharpened to give it an unreal look. |

| A bit more cluttered than I'd like, but I like the perspective. |

| I think the sepia works well portraying the end of the branch and line, well done. |

| my eye seems drawn to the continuing track, not the dead end. Hmmm...maybe it's the 'tunnel' of wire supports. I like the coloration, though. |

| Nice point of view. I like the sepia lending an old feel. The mid-ground feels harsh - is it due to the contrastiness? |

| I might have cropped off the right hand edge to get rid of the sign which is a bit distracting, good sepia treatment works well here |

Yep, definitely the end of the line there!
Like the sepia tones. Gives an arid, dry and old feel to the shot. |

| Well done on the novel approach to the theme, but you should have cropped the buildings and sky since they just take away from your statement. |

| I like the angle and the lines leading the eye out of the upper right of your photo. Good color tone gives it an "old-time" feel |

| a wonderful shot. Did you try it with the house cropped out, might have even been better. |
