Cool capture and great postwork, Tara
I love the "book cover" look of this shot; as if this is the image to accompany a bleak and beautiful tale. I love the haunting quality this image possesses, especially in terms of your use of space. So much in this photo just goes on and on (as driven by the vanishing perspective) and it has an interesting effect as it makes the viewer feel small and possibly even insignificant. I love that feeling as it shows just how big and open things really are; the more wiggle room one has, after all, the more wiggling one can do and this photo has gobs and gobs of wiggle room, and that is just one reason to love it. This is fantastic and it's so compelling, especially for its lack of distracting color. This rocks!
wonderful looking here . see for ever
Wow - talk about your vanishing point...... A starkly beautiful photo, Tara! And a historic place. How perfect the sepia tone is for this! Brilliant, my dear friend!
Fabulous capture of these track, love how they are disappearing into the distance.. A famous spot and not a train to be seen!!
Sepia was the perfect choice. Terrific POV and balance.
a walk along always a stare how far will go depends on the mood this is cool warm hugs, Linda Kaye
textures and converging lines are amazing!!
This is perfect - print and hang on the wall! Love the sepia, Clive
This is such a beautiful capture and I love it in sepia, Tara. The depth is just awesome.
Wonderful photo & tone!
Perfect in sepia which seems so appropriate for this achievement.
Super shot Tara and I bet its 'hard lines' for Bill whom, I am sure, is tied down behind you!!! Lol.
Great shot! And a special message to blinkings (in relation to his recent upload): this is what they look like from 'up over' rather than down under, LOL!
looooove it!!!
Makes you feel dreamy just to look down these tracks I can imagine walking them for real Excellent shot Tara!
nostalsic!!!
Really nice shot. I always wanted to get a pic like this, never seem to find tracks with a nice setting like this around me. Love the BW as well.
A very good one!
I love railway track images and this is no differences. Lovely shot Dierbaar - it reminds me of a similar one I shot in the Namib desert. I also like your pw choice!
Ah ha,...a beautiful monochrome treatment for the tracks heading west off Promontory Summit. Since you are from the west and I am from the east...maybe I'll get around to posting these tracks going east:-) We had a great time here...a most unforgettable hour or two...well worth the 47 mile round trip off our main route.
Wonderful view and great lines capture
Amazing capture!
Wonderful perspective in B&W!!! Awesome cloud patterns and contrails!!
This is a wonderful picture! Really great shot.. Well taken POV :-) At Rosy's at the moment, so comments might be patchy.. Will catch Rob
