blue train

[scarlethawthorne]

Does this photo have a good balance of light and shadow? I like the slight darkness to the left as I think it makes the wheel pop. Do you think the blue adds or detracts from the image?

Well, I LOVE the way your b&w contrast ended up, BUT for me the great big blue stripe in the middle of the picture is VERY distracting... I had to concentrate to figure out what the rest of the picture was.
