Been listening to these train horns blaring in the distance and decided to see what all the noise was about, found this culprit, added a little motion blur to speed it up a little.
Cool shot Brett,
The motion blur really enhances it. The flag on the side of the train and the clearly readable *crossing* sign almost add some metaphorical overtone here. teehee.
Mikel.
The trains are all gone up here in my area. I see them from time to time, but I hear they're pretty big out west still. Nicely done on the motion blur effect.!

This was captured well. The angle of the shot definitely adds interest as if to indicate that it's going past the observer. The clarity and selective blurring are also positives. You may try to punch up the colors a bit (especially on the train and the red/white stripes) to add a little pop. Overall a good shot.
