First off, I like this overall.

• I think the lower half of this image is very interesting and well-composed, but is currently being dominated by the relatively unflattering upper half. I think this would make a very nice 2:1 panoramic image cropping away most of the upper half.

• Even though dark areas in the corners generally tend to keep us from wandering out of frame, the dark in the lower right corner of this image is a bit of a distraction because of the inclusion of the lighter rail detail.

• There's just the faintest hint of cyan, pink, and blue above and below the bridge and I'd like to see those brought out a *tiny* bit more.

I love the scale of the train. It looks a bit like a "toy" photo treatment. Good capture!

I love all those beautiful colors of the sky, but I have a problem with the whole thing hanging to the left ... Since I feel you wanted to do it that way, it is just my personal taste.

I like the tilt for dynamism but, like Bob I think there is too much sky and the dark area in the lower right corner is disturbing.

I also agree with Bob about the sky. The "toy" treatment seems to make the sky look lower, sort of like a low ceiling (as opposed to being a background at a relatively infinite distance). It keeps drawing my up, trying to figure its relation to the rest of the picture. Perhaps it's a sort of unintended optical illusion.

If this is a spur of the moment shot, (the railing at the lower right suggests it might be) cropping out most of the sky is probably the easiest solution.

I would have preferred to see the whole reflection, not cropping the lower left corner, but that's probably just a question of personal taste and what you wanted to be the subject of the photo.

Thank you all for your comments. I haven't figured out this picture my self in the sense that I do like it (especially the "toy" feeling) but there are to many disturbing things in it. I tried to eliminate them but without success. After trying out your suggestions I do agree about the sky and the other things. The sky is to big. The left hanging and the black shadow in the lower right have been difficult to take away because there isn't any more picture in the lower left. If I straighten the pic or try to take away the lower right, then the reflections of the bridge goes to. So, I guess a better original would be the best solution. ;-) I took the picture in Belgrade Serbia earlier this year.

Thanks again for helping out. I really appreciate your comments.

This isnt working for me, and I'm not exactly sure why.
I really like the reflection and texture there, as well as the overall feel of parallel lines, but there's just this feeling of "shooting out the car window on the way home from work" i can't shake -- it could partly be the skew, or lack of contrast. There's a solid shot here, it just hasn't been brought out yet, IMHO.

Cass: Thanks. This is the reason why I asked for critics because one part of me dismisses the photo as an "accident" more then a good picture. But I keep coming back to it so there is something that attracts me.
