A little further down the line

My main objective was to get a symmetrical picture with the middle focus point being a car crossing the train tracks 2 blocks away.
I would love feedback on what you think about it. Thanks.

Great perspective, and I like the low angle, but I think it's a little flat - some dawn or sunset light would work wonders. Also I would use a higher f-stop to ensure sharpness all the way through the image. It might just be the size of the photo on the forum but the car is pretty much lost in the distance - perhaps try and shoot one a block away rather than two?

Thanks for the feedback. I'll take it on board and give it a go.

Nice idea-- just to chime in, if the focus of the photo is the car, perhaps you could draw attention to it by waiting till a brightly colored car drives across? I do agree w/ the lighting; it might be my monitor, but the darks in the photo could use a bit more light to see some detail.

I like this shot and I agree that the car is so small, it doesn't really qualify as the subject of this photo. I usually don't like the horizon in the middle of the image, but I think it works in this one. After reading Jessica's comment, I was thinking that an HDR version of this shot could be really cool.
