Thanks Erich. Once I found the camera position I wanted, I used the widest lens setting I could to give it a larger or deeper look.

Good composition. It feels like a really "big" scene with that black sky and all those train cars leading up to those massive silos. Very nice. Good jog to use B&W.

Thanks rmorrison. I grew up in a small Kansas farm town so grain elevators were a way of life, and I like to photograph them. I even got a ride to the top of one years ago in my home town, scared the crap out of me.

Thank you Sirius_one. I spent some time trying to find what I thought was the best angle or camera position, then did all the cropping in camera with my 24-70 lens.

Thanks Dick. I agree, unless a scene contains some spectacular color. I never intended this one to be anything but b/w.
