 Boy, did we get weird looks doing this one! I also had to loop the ropes loosely in case of train.
Yes, these tracks ARE used! Notice, there's no growth ON the rails, and the rest is still short enough to be lower than the undercarriage. This is a rainforest... stuff grows fast here.

I don't remember the exact steps, but it's all pretty basic because that's all I know how to do :(

Not necessarily in order; curves, gradient in sky, sharpen, spot-burning, desaturate a bit, resize. What did I miss....?

This is a VERY good shot. Score is just ... wrong.

Your use of sepia matches the style of dress beautifully, along with the whole concept. :)

This one made me laugh. Very creative. Great throw back railroad photo.

This is just creepy - just in time for Halloween. Your processing has brought this a level above "model laying on tracks". The fact that the tracks look like they aren't used anymore enhances the effect.

The sepia and the contrasty coupled with the subject evoke the sense of nostalgia very well. A fun photograph!

wow, she's REALLY tied up! Do we owe these images to movies? I wonder if a woman ever really perished in this way.

Fun image nonetheless - great PP

Judging by the weeds growing on the track, she might be waiting a while. Nice tint. The ropes need to be tighter for believability.. 7.

I don't think she's in much danger tied to this track!!
Maybe she'll starve to death
