I don't know what inspired me to take a shot of myself lying down on the tracks, but when I looked at the photo later that night I decided I could have some fun with it. I superimposed the train and beer bottle, and got this. How does it look?

Nice job. It would be good if you could somehow imply more motion to the train, at the moment it looks like it is standing still (which it probably was when the photo was taken). Maybe a slight motion blur?

samatar is right, but it's gonna be a real tough one, blurring from this angle.
Anyway: I thought the train was real (and standing still), after that I read your text.
So I guess it's a nice manipulation since you had me believing it was real. Nice one. Power to the photoshoppers!

Being a Paramedic, I have picked up quite a few folks that have been hit by a train, it is not a pretty sight.

Excellent! The shadowing/reflection on the rail is especially well done.

Agree with Samatar. -- The train looks too still... and you're in a very awkward position -- don't look to comfy. Of course you're lying on a railroad track.. but still. It's an awesome idea, and a great picture! Hilarious.

I didn't know trains could travel on gravel (look at the wheel locations compared to the rails). Albeit a funny one, this is a good image.

I think it's a good shot, but feel it needs shadow, not necessarily a motion blur..

I like it. Perhpas it may have been better if you added a slight Motion Blur to the train so it gives the impression that it's moving faster? If you open up this image in Photoshop, and then duplicate the layer, then on the top layer add your motion blur. Then on the top layer erase everything besides the train, and the train will be slightly blurry with the background still in focus.
