Greetings Joe!

Nice shot, but you've posted in the critique section. Was there something about it you wanted to know about? If not, perhaps the share your shots section would be better.

Welcome to DPS!
I invite you to read the 1st thread on this section: rules...

I dont feel the motion in the trains (are they running?). Perhaps the shot was taken at a fast shutter speed.

Hey Joe

I like it! I love photo of trains. I don't know if it's the colors or their massive nature but I do.
You asked for critique so here is mine.
I Love the composition and how the colors are complimented well against the background
I think the image could use a little increased sharpness and color saturation.
Phil

I like the balance of the photo. I would agree with the previous comments however, a little sharper would be a slight improvement . Also, as mentioned, a little more colour saturation would bring out the great yellows of the trains!

tweaked your shot, and added one of mine to show how tilting camera gives more dynamic effect.
