Seems to be a lot of attention on trains and I had a similar opportunity to shoot this on Wednesday.

    AHHHHHH ! That is what I was going to try and shoot today ! Laughing.gif
    OF course I think it is a good idea. I like that the Rail system diagram is included in the shot.

    I agree, good idea.

    Maybe the rail system more as focal point and large train in bg, out of focus, just a suggestion. I think the idea works you just need a focal point to pop more.

    yeah....love the idea - not so much the picture. just a tad confusing...there are so many other angles and other subjects that you could get in the photo to convey TRAIN/RAIL SYSTEM....I'd try reshooting this without the sign thing....makes me fell like I'm trying to figure out where Dillard's is. try getting a train moving on the track, or once it's stopped, get a gtood picture of it in focus and the rest of train trailing off behind it in BOKEH (out of focus).....people on here are smart enough to figure it out....rail system

    nice idea.

    You are right - a lot fo attention seems to be going towards trains for this theme. Its a tricky one - I think people will have to go a little out-of-the-box when shooting and so will we when viewing.

    good work.
