Week 1 : Skipton Station lines and framed train tech :)

Love these old pillars - and train lines of course :)

That is a lovely shot in its own right, and perfect for the theme - different, but perfect.

The only bit which isn't quite right (to me) is the chain and wire dangling down. You'll probably tell me it was deliberate, but it really draws my eye. It's perfectly in focus and even looks like it has been sharpened, with a bit of a halo around it.
 
Such a good shot, especially with the blurred train in the background. As Boots says my eye is drawn to the dangly red light/reflector, I'm just curious to what it is.
 
Nice photo, you have captured the speed of the train through the blur and then framed it!

Ta muchly Wayne.
 
Excellent start, nice bit of decorative architecture.
 
Lovely pillars and got the train at just the right spot, did we see these columns last year with hanging baskets on?

Ta Keith :) No I haven't shot this station before.
 
Really nice shot Dave, the shallow DOF with the train framed in the background really makes the image pop.
 
Nicely done Dave. The painted iron ornamentation looks great and the train is framed beautifully.
 
Week 2 : Rust & Decay

'Seagull' at Sunderland Point, Overton. Taken this afternoon a 15 Min drive from home. (Had to push the boat out for this one)

2. Rust & Decay

Great image, I love the close up. I wasn't sure what it was till I came to this thread - thought maybe a tractor! I think mixing rust and decay is a bit difficult - each easy to find alone. So the wood and metal of the boat is ideal.

On the constructive side I'd perhaps just pull back the highlights a smidge under the 'E' as my eye is currently drawn straight to it. Whereas personally I think the bottom 2/3rds are the most interesting.

Thanks Kane :)
 
No wonder its falling to bits if you shoved it Dave, Smashed both aspects of the theme
 
Oooh, I love those two images Dave. Nailed the theme (as always). I'm slightly drawn to the wider image, but both are belters.

Ta Simon. Wider as a photo but chosen for the theme :)
 
Great find, both pictures are great, the mix of colours and rust really makes the boat tell a story.
