Hello from the Critique Club,
My first impressions when viewing your image was that it meets the challenge that the composition is pretty well done. However, I also had to ask myself where's the broken track. After much searching I could finally see that the track does indeed end suddenly. There are a couple of things that could have been done differently to help show the broken track better. First, you could have focused on the broken end of the track and let the front part act as a leading line to the main subject of the image. Or you could have shot with a smaller aperture (larger f-stop number) to increase the amount track in focus. The other thing that makes it tough to see that the track ends suddenly is that side detail of the track is almost totally black. If you could have kept some of the detail in the side of the rail, it would have provided a stronger 3-D effect and helped the rail stand out more. I highly recommend that you look at the DPC B&W Tutorial and see how the different post processing methods shown can change your image.

| It's too hard to tell what this is. |

| This just doesn't say "train track" to me. Perhaps it's a trolley track? But there's so little context to carry the idea in the image...no real point of interest once the rail is seen to keep me looking. |

| DOF is a little too shallow for my taste. The "nowhere" part of the shot can't be seen. |
