Default The Road to Nowhere

This shot of the Railroad tracks at 17th Ave in Pensacola was taken back in November on a pretty nasty day.

I like it. The way the fog looks at the end of the tracks almost gives it a casablanca kind of atmosphere. I was stationed in Pensacola (flordabama) for a couple of months, who would of thought they had photography there. Hah.

Looks great. Your tones/contrast look spot on.

Egats~! The original was awful. I had to play in Photoshop for awhile before I got it right!

i like this a lot, fantastic PP to give it a great lonely feel. The slightly green cast just adds to it for me

Thank you! I love it when my photo gets an "ooh!!" comment!

Mysterious was definitely the look I was going for!

I had a ton of fun playing with Selective Color to get the look and feel I was going for.

And thank you to everyone for your comments!
