DSS 51 Attempt

Well have been struggling with my photography lately due to severe cold and general digital slump. Why is it that from time to time everything seems like crap and you struggle with original thoughts and composition.
Anyway here is what I have so far good bad or whatever.
Let me have it:thwak I think I need a good beating :beatwax
1. Future Breakfast


2.Told you not to plant the tree so close to the house.
Need shorter title for this one. Maybe Time and Pressure




3. When Steam Was King


4.Rail vs Interstate


5. Old Sacramento

These are all good.

I like 1, 2, and 5 best. In 1, the sky is not doing much for me. In 5, the person on the porch is an anachronism.

I like all of these! I especially like #1, the detail is fantastic.

All beautiful photos. I especailly like #1. However, I think the only one that comes close to fitting the theme is #3. I like the juxtaposition of the rusty old engine in the foreground with the shiny, glass and metal buildings in the background. The tracks leading towards the buildings tie the two together. Like the "road to the future". Problem with the photo is I am not sure the composition is interesting enough. I wish I could see more the engine.

2 & 3 for me. Great shots!

I love photo #2, and I like the trains in #3 and #4, but I think you can go farther with composition on the trains.

#2 is unique and interesting. I like the title "Time and Pressure." I think there are many good possibilities for the title playing on the idea of time. I'm thinking, "Just a Matter of Time" or "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow."

Thank you all for the feedback. I might try for a re-shoot on 3. Earlier in the day there were fantastic clouds which went away by the time I was able to shoot the train. I have other shots that show more of the train but they lack the detail that I got on 3 with use of fill flash.

I personally LOVE #2. The swoop of the tree is so sweet! The lines lead you right to the yesterday theme. Love it!

I like them all - very nice!

Maybe #1 would be better for the theme... I'm not sure though which one to choose...
