"The Linha do Tua is one of the country’s most beautiful railway lines and is also an impressive feat of engineering. Built more than a century ago in 1887, dynamite was used to blast great holes in the rock and cut a path for the line. From the windows of the small train, you’ll see a landscape of rugged beauty composed of enormous gorges, between which the river squeezes hundreds of feet below."

I love this theme!
Rails of trains
I like very much your POV and angle
The blur effect of the background is very good

Ola Carla,
This one is really a pleasure to look at.
You have chosen the AF point and DOF very well so the right expression is included - hop on atrain and ride away.
I also like the different shades of green left and right of the line it really looks fantastic. TFS Thomas

Hi Carla,
Wonderful depth to this winding track. The rusty rails contrast nicely with the warm green grass.

Hi Carla,
lovely low POV that makes me want to get out of the way quickly! Composition is excellent. I am curious why you chose a shallow DOF...

Great shot here! I love the mood and tone of the image. You really captured the romance of the rail. Good light and good use of selective focus.

Hi carla,

Very nice shot! great details with the wood stones and rusty bolts. Railroads are always beautiful to capture. Beautiful the way this one meanders in its environment. Definitely a timeless aesthetic railroad!

Wow Carla, a terrific compo... I like the way you left a shallow DoF to start near the front, to leave sharpness to fade away towards the rear. The bend in the rails is a nice touch. A beauty!
TFS

Great perspective and depth of field. I like the way you've focused on the fish-plate in the centre foreground.

Hello Carla,
a very simple shot that attract attention. A very good lay out of perdspectives. A very detailed and clear subject giving attention to the rails with its blurrred background to give an impact.

Good POV and sense of perspective here. These tracks make you wonder where they lead:) I like the composition and natural colors. Nice shot.

Carla,

I like the pov that you've chosen.

Hi Carla,
Very strong image, the low point of view works well, as does the shallow depth of focus.
The curve of the rail leads the eye through the image perfectly, well done.
