nice, the perspective on this is just great. might i ask where you shot it? my only criticism would be that the sky on the right looks a little too bright, if you took the burn tool to it in photoshop with it set to highlights you could propably balance it out though.

Thanks very much for the favorite and for the critique. Greatly appreciated.
Do you mean along the very edge of the roof of the train station, or on the right side of the sky in general?

i like the composition on this..that curve is lovely! i also like the fact that everything seems to be the same golden colour, with exception to that big blue stripe in the station!

I really love that station. I've lived in Chicago for most of my life, and have at least one story for every train stop. That one has many. Thank you, I'm glad you like this.

wow you got a train? thats cool. all we have is a light rail that hits cars who dont know how to not make left turns.
The blue streak gives this a good contrast. My english is a little faulty today, so I'll just say, "COOLZ!!".
haha keep em coming.

This would make a really nice lithoprint as a piece of Americana befitting a Currier and Ives retrospective.

Wow Denis!
Thank you for that. What a compliment.
I gave prints of this piece and the one called "Sunlight" to my mother for her birthday last week. Also, the one in my gallery where she's holding the baby.

Very beautiful. Showing that the station is elevated really adds to the atmosphere, and the lighting and colors are just beautiful.

Ok, I'm weird here but the first thing I think about is westerns movies - everybody's waiting for the train with the bad guys to arrive and has gone to hide indoors. The cameras is the "hero's" eyes as he stands alone and the clock is ticking....
And I must compliment you on the cropping and the whole composition - nice nice nice

Thank you very much and thank you for the favorite.
I actually shot that scene several times over two days until the right composition appeared. Maybe it's the colors that remind you of a western?
BTW, speaking of westerns, did you ever used to watch the show, "Gunsmoke"?

The curves are very sexy in this piece. The very calm colors can be very relaxing while waiting for the train after a ruff day. I welcome days like this...

Thank you brother. Waiting for trains is like a mantra to me now. Today was a BEAUTIFUL day in Chicago. I just got back into town from MO. I managed to get some decent evening shots while waiting on trains and buses.
