Well done. Besides the visual design that is reinforced by the S lines of the train it has the appropriate amount of contrast to make a b&w conversion excellent.

Ok sorry had to throw in an abstract image there.. Promise I wont do it again.. Here's another one completed the other day:
Lighthouse Erie Harbor
If one is wounding why all the black and white images all of a sudden. The wife wants all the color images and took 90% of these in Raw so while converting the images (one I thought was dull drab) I converted it to Black and white and Bam.. The detail black and white brings out. Another reason.. I noticed on another site "other" photographers were stealing my ideas even my images.. One in fact took two of my pictures and combine them into one with a little photoshoping. (Hence no downloads) Converting to black & white makes it a bit harder for others to steal. Besides the black and white images is starting to grow on me. May just have to have a couple of prints done via Michaels in a few months.

Try this one, should be easy enough:
Heartbeat Highway
Couple of things about tis pic:
1st) I stood in the middle of this road for 45 mins without any cars. it's called hearthbeat highway cause thats all you can hear. with an occasional dust devil of fin the distance.
2nd) the blur off to the left was a locust that photobombed.
3rd) and this one is important.. note the small dot off to the left.. the famous "Solitary Tree" I want to return to this locate in the future and setup for some morning/night long exposures.

Horizontal horizons are usually expected unless there is some desired outcome or benefit. Though interesting, #1 isn't particularly sharp. The balance are rather dark on my monitor. The flying dot in the last is a distraction, even if it is not something on the sensor. That shot is one nearly every photographer has in his collection - particularly of they live or travel in the West. The trick is to find a point of difference from all the others. Monochrome is difficult - good luck as you move forward.
