Deserved a higher scpre IMO.....
I love the perspective and leading lines.
I also love the composition with the greenery and the train tracks leading one right into the image

Awesome.....

Just seen your "built in 1906" shot,love it,it reminds me of one of my favorite films "Stand by me" with River Pheonix.I'm glad to see you didn't over process it,just kept it simple.

As I touched on before, this shot does feel like it is leaning to the right. Maybe rotating and cropping would help, but I feel like it may have been better to take the shot with the camera at a more straight-on angle (in the center of the tracks). However, that would produce a composition that is more "standard" - and while the leaning is a bit distracting, I do love how it makes the composition dynamic and unique.

Graffiti is a bit distracting (mainly I am talking about the part on the left). I like it for the character it shows but in advanced editing maybe a bit of burning could help it stand out less. Sharpening was done well, as was the adjustments to shadows and highlights. I love how there is a lot of detail in this shot but it still does not feel too busy/visually confusing.

All in all, an interesting shot that is nice to look at and portrays the challenge very well.

Nice photo. I like the use of shadows and light. I think I would have tried to crop the photo so that the top of the bridge was parallel with the top of the photo.

very nice. i think portrait crop would be better, my eyes just go up and want to see more of the steel on top.

Kind of seems like the whole shot is leaning to the right. Great details and color though!!
