Could be a foggy day at sunrise. I don't find the image at all foreboding. Perhaps "mysterious" is a word I might use to describe this scene. I like it Linda. The barn has a fabulous shape. If it was mine, I would consider eliminating the two power poles (or maybe just the pole on the left).

Don't think this qualifies as photography but it definitely is art. Nicely done. I can imagine the hours of tinkering and retinkering to get it where you wanted it. Kudos!
Thank you Reuss. I had to redraw the front of the locomotive several times to get it close to "right".

What is not to love about your Art-Deco works... You have the composition to a T... well done saxman71
I covered the visual of the flowers and leaves, your adding them was a masterful stroke. The dark mat gray carpet is also a needed contrast with opposing side brightness.

Thanks Don. I thought some of the vacant space needed items of interest. Thus the leaves and the flowers. I tried a couple other things besides the flower pots (a couple statues for example). They didn't make the grade. But I'm still not real crazy about the flower pots.

I think this is a lovely abstract and if there is a dog somewhere in there so much the better.

Thank you 10MPlayer. I have become enamored with trains recently and I have always wanted to take a long leisurely train trip across the country. I hope you have a wonderful time. Regarding the sax, I still try to pick up one of my altos every day and play a couple tunes. My arthritic thumbs and fingers make playing ever more challenging. I have almost given up playing the tenor (just too heavy) and the soprano (too hard to hold even with a neck strap).

Thank you very much Linda. I'm finding learning new things to actually be fun. This "fun" has put a severe crimp in my TV watching time. Who would have thunk it.

Nicely done. I like the perspective you used to create the train.
Thanks very much SoHillGuy. Glad you liked it.

This is another image I created in Photoshop starting with a blank white file. I used a photo of a train I found on-line as my model for the locomotive and cars. The tunnel was my own vision. I played around with the colors until I got what feels like a neon look to the scene. I had to "redraw" the locomotive several times as I found the side front perspective to be difficult to get right. When I was a young man I used to enjoy drawing and painting. This work gets me very close to that feeling. Thanks for taking a look. Comments are always welcome.

This is a very interesting image. I particularly like the way the ceiling of the equipment shed is comprised. The lower portion of the image makes me think of colorful mycelium.

These are superb. Getting video of the female Anna's feeding her chicks in their intricately made nest is simply incredible. I have seen such feedings twice in my life and I felt they were very special events to observe.

Very nice indeed. A great idea carried out extremely well. The three windows flow together and I like the offset with the center window lower than the others.
