Description
In the still of night,it charges,
Unstoppable,
Unyielding,
like the pounding waves
of the ocean.
Forging,
Fearless,
like soldiers.
like clockwork.
It...
[obligatory pause for suspense]
...is the midnight train

Thanks for the honest opinion. You don't like the sky in this one? I kind of liked it.
I've moved on from doing manips, but I'm glad you can still appreciate them

Great visual concept. It gives a whole new meaning to street sweepers.

Your photography and photomanipulation skills are truly amazing. I'm awed everytime one of your deviations arrives in my inbox. Great concept, love it all. Except the shadow cast on the ground at the bottom left of the train seems a bit out of place. Maybe it's just me, I often conceive things contrary to what's been laid out infront of me (I do it the most when I'm forced to interpret literature).
You really do have quite an imagination and I'm glad you could share it with us. Keep up the great work.

This is incredibly beautiful! If it wasnt for the warped looking sky i wouldnt doubt this was straight photography no manipulations. But i love this and when first looking at it it made me say "what the heck?
