    I can see why this is an early fave! I love the bright vibrant colors in the whole image, but that train is so cool and I absolutely love those arches.

    Very nice.

    Nice setting.....love trains and jungles.....do wish the front of the engine was on top of 2nd arch on right and tail extending out of the frame....here it is both bit lost in bg and eye is going to the first compartment initially. Nice to get a chance to visit Sri Lanka! They have some of the best wild-life habitats....Leopards!! If I win Lotto as planned....definitely going to visit SR. Cheers!

    Beautiful spot to capture that wonderful scene. Looks like a postcard - and should be! Took a while to notice the terraced land at the top left. Little elements such as that in the right spot just help even more balance the comp.

    Thanks for the comments, Sri Lanka was a wonderful place to visit and the hike to this bridge was a lot of fun from Ella.

    composition is lovely! The processing is bit off for me though..I feel like the entire image is touch overexposed (maybe 1/3 stop) and the sky is oversaturated to the point where it is messing with some of the tree tops.

    Composition and clarity are very nice. This has lots of visual interest and I love the train.

    Thanks again for the comments, agreed the sky was over saturated. Went back and looked at the RAW file and the sky was indeed very blue by itself. Had to desaturate for this latest edit. Cropped a bit of the back end away as well.

    I like the revision. Sky is better and IMO the train looks more like it is coming to the picture. Great work!

    I like the color best in the second version, but after having seen the first version I feel we are missing something in the second composition, the first comp works best for me.
    I don't know where I'm going, but I'm going anyway.
