Really strong on the note of composition, Wendell. With respect to the train yard and the leading lines emanating from that area.


Caveats?

Well, to save your eyes some wear and tear.. let's cut to the picture worth the next thousand words:

"Limited Parking" - Cropped

Think it is the fact, or close to ... of the placement of the tree line/horizon at the vertical midpoint that nudged my pea brain to try a crop.


The sky and clouds are unique.. however, found my eyes wrestling to come back down to earth. To that of, and what I consider the more visually appealing aspect of your image here ... the train cars, themselves.

And reiterating ... how strong your composition is with just that lil' bit more focus placed on them and their setting.


Ehhh.. six of one, half dozen of another ... still doesn't quite add up to a baker's dozen.

So.. personal preference, perhaps.

That said..


I still quite enjoy your photo here.

And.. but, of course ... thank you for sharing it with us.

The composition is excellent Wendell. I particularly like the curves of the tracks on the side rails.
Must admit the crop helps the photo and this from a former advertising salesman.
One of your best posts to date.

Terrific find for perspectives!...The crop does work good, but there are certainly many 'different' angles this would look good at!

Excellent shot! I also liked the crop a lot...draws your attention to those great rail cars. Faved.

Both your shot and the crop are good just different - I like the idea of and visualation of all that space in yours.

Excellent with one exception, Wendell. As much as I love beautiful skies, unless it's the prime subject, it should compliment the subject material, but never compete.
There's too much by half, which also puts the horizon almost at center stage.
The vastness of this shot certainly makes it appear acceptable, but he sky will always be endless, regardless of how much of it you use. 20 to 30% of image space is generally adequate and allows the main subject material to dominate

Wow this is one great looking photography and when enlarged it even better the detail,depth of field is stunning.This shot you get a great feel for the distance and size too.

A fine shot my Friend. I like the composition; and the colors are great. The comp keeps the eye moving.. well done.

Nice picture but must agree with Les on the crop.

Rob

I agree on what´s said hear before me. It is a great photo and the composition is very good. I too like the crop because it lets the trains be the main subject of the photo.

Marvelous depth and composition in this Wendell
