Interesting comments. After waiting all week for the sun to come out (it didn't), finally had to just take a picture (or actually lots - 100+). Photo taken at high noon on a very cloudy day, extremely flat light. Early AM and late PM lighting sucked too, just darker. Any adjustments didn't do much and early spring in N. MN has no color.

From a technical standpoint, this is a terrific effort - crisp, sharp with everything detail well controlled and captured. From an artistic standpoint, it's rather bland and uninviting to the viewer. Sometimes an image, even one as technically competant as this one is, is just an image. A worthy entry into the challenge and directly related to the challenge subject. A good effort falling short in the artistic sense.

A sepia filter might have made it better. JMO!

I like the perspective buty the branches on the tracks are a little distracting.

I think having the tracks to off at more of an angle, like from corner to corner, would be better for this shot instead of having the rail go straight up the pic.
