Picture Question

Unread post by Crow T Robot »

I had to level and sharpen but other than that its straight out of the camera.

The colors seem right to me if I tone them down would it be just a bit or a lot? Or is it more of a question of it being to bright?

Looks a tad oversaturated to me.

The poles on the right lose it for me. Also looks like those must be pushers or engines not moving as you can't tell if the headlight is on.

You need to crop just to the left of that ugly trash can on the right. Other than that, it looks pretty decent. I think as far as the bad color goes, you need to increase the contrast just a tad...and maybe back off on the red just a little.

Yes they are pushers the only ones I saw the whole time that did not have End of train markers on it.

Will do but not sure if I'll get nixed for bad cropping as that will cut the visible end off the train. I will give it a go though...

Nice job. Some of those Bright Sun shots can be tough.
