Thanks. I like this photo too, but to be honest it was a mistake. After waiting an hour for a train to appear I get anxious and push the shutter down too soon. My solution? I use burst mode. My camera can do 5 shots at like 2.5 fps. What I've learned is I can start too soon even in burst mode. This photo is an example of that happening. The train is too far away and somewhat blurry as result. I brought the photo into Photoshop, zoomed, cropped, and applied auto levels and contrast. Then I applied sharpen. I also copied the photo on another layer and then screened that layer about 50 percent. The original image was much darker. I do like the results, but in my gut I know it was an accident and a lucky save of sorts. But thank you for the compliment!
