Al -

Lovely geometry, composition, depth, detail, contrast and tonal range.

Al, I like this and agree with Stuart. Rich tonal range and great lines.

Martin, Frans, Stuart, Virgil,

Thanks gentlemen......I drove past, hit the brakes, turned around, jumped out, froze my butt, and shot.

Well worth the frozen butt.

Nicely done, Al.

Hi Al,

I love this image. The lines draw you into the image. The graffiti and the snow add effect. Wonderful tonal range, and clarity.

Interestingly enough, when lines move from left to right it gives the impression that the object (in this case the train) is moving away from you. Had the lines been moving from right to left you get the impression that the object is coming towards you. Travel agents often use this trick when they draw up their brochures and advertising - at least this is what I was told at one of the ad agencies...

Thanks for sharing.
Andreas
