The Red Train - Panoramic

[andypyle]

What do you guys think? I was having some trouble determining what would be the best crop for it.

First I would want to rotate it a little anti-clockwise to make that bridge level - then I would crop down as required (because you loose a little at the edges with rotating) and make a decision from there. I suspect it will need minimal further cropping, if any, as the lines of the tracks and train make for a strong image.

I would crop out the building and poles on the rightside. But I'd leave the trees between the building and bridge. The bridge angle looks finr to me.

Just a thought: have you tried this as black and white (with a bit more contrast). I like the shot though, and agree with wulf on editing. Nice work

Yeah, the first thing I did was put a black & white adjustment layer on it, but then I brought the opacity down on that layer just a tad to give it a slightly desaturated effect. I think that set the mood a little more because it was actually overcast that day. Thank you guys for the comments. I'll do some more adjustments in the morning.

You may want to try giving it a sepia look, see if that makes for good viewing. Otherwise, nice shot
