    Hi Don! I think I prefer the first because it's more abstract. The crossing lines are pretty awesome, as is the light hitting the sticks themselves. Just awesome light all-around thumb.gif

    Thanks for looking schmoo. Yeah, the second is a more classic comp.

    I agree. Prefer the first - really eyecatching. clap.gif

    Wonder if the second one would look better if the picture was cropped to exclude the hill in the background. Would there be more impact if the tracks led straight off the edge of the picture?
    More practice needed but learning all the time!:rofl

    The cropped version leads my eyes to making laps all over the photo and I like it thumb.gif

    I LOVE the cropped version of the second. It doesn't even look like the same photo!

    Love the cropped version of the 2nd shot...so simple and sweet! thumb.gif
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.
