Which do you prefer one two or neither. Please let me know why you made your choice. Thanks in advance.

Frank, I like the first one, as it's a perspective of rail lines that one doesn't normally see.
The second one looks like a contrived assembly.

Thanks Bob, I appreciate you taking the time and commenting. It's good to hear how others view an image.

I like the idea of #2, which for me is two modes of travel, with our eye taking them in different directions, and related thoughts of adventure and venturing into the unknown.
I don't care for the execution of #2 because of the large amount of out of focus rail. I could see cropping an inch or two from bottom of #2 without losing any story. (the treatment of darkening your sky etc has made the lighter section on right side - in the distance - a bit weird-looking

I like #1 for its warmth. #2 is bleak.
Thanks Mike, I have to agree about the warmth factor. But the other sky happen a lot in NJ, this time of year.

Thanks Linda for you detailed analysis. The weirdness on number 2 is something I will have to address. Your crop suggestion is something to also consider.

The rail alone is a photo story, mixing the moon and airplane is a competition for eye-attention, it detracts from a good rail vanishing point photo. The upper/right quadrant is another photo story. For both, KIS, keep it simple is best.

I like no 1, There is no distraction from the 3 lines, fence, rail and the wall with the trees...

What Bob said--the first one is a winner for me. The second, not so much because I have never been a fan of inserting objects into photos. The second one also looks flat, while the first is vibrant.

I like the dark #2. I think the plane distracts the image.
Thanks for commenting. I too like the dark. I feel it is bold looking. I feel the rails pop a little more with that sky. It is certainly the opposite of my other entry. The plane is something I can take or leave.
