From Fairmile Bridge
This stop, although on the mainline to London, is only used by the 'stopping' slow trains.

OOOh I would have to clean it up a bit :o))))
the flickr version seems to have more powerful postwork on the bridge, and none on the trainyard---something you do extremely well (ie, postworking one section while leaving the rest alone). I like it and this equally much. In this, you've postworked across-the-board, and the bridge is gentler than the flickr, maybe a bit of softening, glow and small amount of edge work. The whole picture is that way, and it makes a 'picture book' image, that is, something from a book of tales or fairy tales. I really like the gentle softening, and your glow on the brightest hues. And your desaturation makes it overcast, almost like a shot out from Dickens (minus the modern stuff).
Finally, your pov---in both shots---is quirky and wonderful: The view most wouldn't capture. Ie, you captured the background through a heavy "arch", where the heaviest element is on top rather than bottom. And the stuff in that yard is great (the discards in the bottom portion---I don't even know what those are!) Full zoom, btw, stretched through my floor and it's filled with little sooty creatures/pock marks; and mid zoom (ie, what fits into the browser window) is gentler, but still 'andrea-ized'. I love both. Love what you did to this poor station. Its family is saying "don't ever let her photograph you again..." I love it.
Makes me wish I was there again...
Very atmospheric. A bleak somewhat dystopian feel to this possibly because of the overcast sky. And framed by a dirty and slightly rusted metal triangle completes the picture perfectly.
Very creative POV that creates the framing for the focal point. Well seen Andrea!
Stunning capture Andrea. God bless.
Amazing photos Andrea !
Railroad yards always make good subjects.
Just something about them peaks my interest.
