Description
Well after almost getting hit by a train.. and going completely numb.. i got this..Edit:
Alot of people have been asking me if I used filters on this. There were no filters used on this, and no photoshop edits. This is the exact shot I got with my camera, and nothing else.

That is damn fantastic! What a brilliant moment to be caught in. Just as you are thrown into such a frightening position, there is a decisive moment laid before you. Great capture! Great composition!

Haha.. I was walking on the tracks and i turned around. I didnt even hear anything, but then in front of my face was a train. I ran off the tracks luckily. However.. it was very cold. my hands froze even in the gloves, and even more when I took the gloves off for the shot. The train didnt get me, but the cold did..

wow this is BEAUTIFUL! i like how the sunlight is reflecting off the tracks; they look like they're on fire. it's wonderful too, how you can see the shadow of the sunrays on the clouds.
what i really like is how there seems to be two sides in this photo: one with the trees, and the other with the antennas (is that what they are?), and that there are two parallel tracks: it's like you can choose one path, going either way. interesting thought.

The simultaneity in tracks to the contrast between the un touched land and the power lines is very well composed and the sun to bring it all together, just adds to creating a beautiful atmosphere of colour.

This is a great shot. The effect of the sunset on the rails is captured perfectly. This piece gives off a feeling of nostalgia for me, for back when I used to commute by train everyday. I love it. +fav

I'm with ser, I'd say this was worth almost getting hit for It's absolutely stunning.
I'm not really fond of the electricty tower things, but the shot is still great either way.
