Ding! We have a PCA winner! Absolutely stunning.
|
Awesome photo, Andrew! PCA vote here.

This is a truly creative image, inventive cropping, a rare and well composed image. PCA for me.
|
Ditto! PCA for me!
|
What an absolutely fascinating angle!
|
A different view than obviously most of us got. I really like this.
|
Another AB'2 image that makes us all say, loudly, "hello". Creative!

Fantastic shot. I'm a big fan and user of wide angle lens, so this is a treat to see an AB(2) Wide Angle! PCA coming your way.
|
That's AB2 for you - outside of the box and away from the photo line! Awesome, as always.
|
Proof positive that folks who take photo charters don't ALWAYS get the same shots. A truly unique view here AB. Very well done. PCA here too.
|
Andrew, I actually think this might be the most creative shot I've seen from you ... so far. And that is saying a lot. What a unique idea, and great framing. It even leaves those of us who've never seen the 261 run with a picture worth a thousand words.

I wish I could be more impressed. You can barley see the locomotive through the reflection (why this doesn't qualify as a "foreground obstruction" is questionable), and the right hand frame is empty and dull, and there's that glaring, unnatural flash right dead center. It's an interesting concept, but I think the execution is poor. AB2 has done better work, as have others, and this shot just misses another opportunity at something greater and I'm surprised at how easily everyone is fawning over it because it was taken through a window away from a photo line.

A very interesting shot, and Andrew 2 or whatever his name is deserves a lot of credit for creative thinking. And Mitch deserves credit for being there with the right lens. What is missing is some human interest in the obs seats. On a real train those seats would be full of folks sipping martinis. AB2, next time you get an opportunity for this kind of shot I will volunteer to put a tie on and sip the martinis.

Another creative shot by Andrew...always thinking outside the box.
And I'll bet he didn't even get bitten by a horse to get this.
|
I knew that when I bought my 10-20mm, it would be hard to use it for train photography. Good stuff Andrew...
|
Terrific concept, even if there are a few technical flaws. A++ for creativity. Too bad the critic didn't have the courage to give his name! ;-) Would a polarizer have helped with the reflections?
|
I agree with John West,
Much potential, but cried out for someone sitting in the passenger car.
Guess you'll just have to re-arrange the whole thing :) ;)
I'm sure Mitch will lend you the lens again.

Not a thing wrong with it, its what it would look like if your riding in the char. I do think a polarizer was in order.
|
What a unique shot. I love the flash on the woodwork. I love the reflections in the left window. It's a beautiful work of art. So where are the happy passengers? Who cares! The shot brings me a feeling of sadness for a time gone by. No people needed. Its like when church is over and you linger in a beautiful sanctuary, alone in the quiet, and feel that calming sense of a great truth washing over you.

Wonderful shot of two (2) timelines that are long gone. Very sad, but brings back memories! Negative comments unnecessary; once in a lifetime chance at that shot..
