In my humble opinion, I like the way it's presented now. It clearly points up the title you've given it and is very intimidating in its feel as it stands without the crop :)PJ
I'll vote for the way it is now as well. I hate verticals. I have yet to post one since I joined this outfit. A vertical turns out to be 50 per cent border and 50 percent picture. I wanna see the picture, not a bunch of border. That's a car hauler. They use to haul cars on open rail cars until vandalism became such a problem, thus the enclosed car hauler. I'm sure this has run up the cost of buying a car as well. Love those vandals. Interesting capture.

Not sure what the other view would look like...this one works for me. Even at first glance conveys the feeling of large size. Now let's get out of the way before they run us over. Jas
To me this is a perfect example of what would normally be considered a drab scene made into a great photo. Excellent perspective, you really feel dwarfed by the subject. Excellent light in this shot too.
I like it! Dont change a thing! And Im not just saying that as a guy who digs trains. This is a nice shot with great forced perspective and wonderful coloring. Well done!
