Bonjour Claude,
Bel angle choisi ! J'aime beaucoup, même si j'aurais coupé un poil plus bas l'image en haut.
Stéphane

I love the lines in this picture, taking the eye this way then that way......
B&W works well here, making sure that the railway tracks are the points of interest with no distractions.
Thanks for sharing

Bonsoir Claude,
Contrairement à Berlingo, j'aurais cupé un peu plus ne bas pour prendre un peu plus en haut.

good composition. i like the fact that you used black and white as well since it takes away any distractions from the railroad tracks. good job
thanks for sharing

Salut claude,
J'aime beaucoup ce titre qui illustre exactement ce que l'on ressent en regardant cette photo :) Merci,
Claudine

Nice shot! I like the symmetry. Black and white really suits the picture.

Beautiful simmetries and point of view. Great picture.

Hi Claude!

Wonderful composition! The rail track are almost perfectly symmetrical... the lines produced are amazing. TFS

Hi Claude,
Very nice composition. I am going to add this to on eof the themes on railways. Well done.

Excellente photo, très graphique. Le noir et blanc est bien adapté.

Sacrément bien vu !

A dilemma indeed, very sharp and intricate picture, hope you got out of there safely. TFS

Hello Clause

A nice shot.
Good choice of b&w tone.

image kind of symetrical - nice effect.

I love the idea of this photo, really great. Naturally I don't want to know how you got this photo, you must have been on the tracks ;-)

Cheers

Nicely seen Claude. very impressive image. the graphism is strong and your point of view is really good. the decision of making it b&w add more impacts.

Bonjour Claude,
Une très belle photo pour illustrer un sujet auquel nous sommes bien souvent confrontés ... :)
Sylvie

En fait, il y a peut-être dilemme, mais on s'entend sur une chose au moins... Ce ne sera pas en ligne droite! Pour avoir un peu marché sur les rails cet été je n'ai pas eu a rencontrer de pareils dilemme par contre.
Bravo pour cette complexe trouvaille!

symmetry is that feature witch eye-catch and b&w is the best way to express complexity structure..

Hello Claude,
Excellent photo. Very good distributions of geometry forms.
Great work.

Hi Claude,
Beautiful symmetry in this shot, nice low POV and excellent B&W work with the tones - overall a nice sharp image with great DOF.
Thanks,

Hello Claude,

Beautiful angle, I was able to
to take oath that would be seeing a mirror.
That dilemma to proceed, which curves to turn!
Good use of the b/w.
Congratulations!

Une belle symétrie dans cette photo, Claude. J'aime bien toutes les formes géométriques que nous y retrouvont et le point de vue assez bas qui nous donne plein the lignes. Bravo!

Bonjour.
Une très bonne idée d'image et de titre pour cette photo.
Bravo !

Hi Claude, great b&w here, I like the strong symmetry. The tracks come together almost like a puzzle. I've always wondered how they make sure all the trains get on the right tracks so they won't run into each other. :)

Your cropping is great, keeping the focal point on the tracks without any distractions. Thanks for sharing!

Erin

bonjour Claude
Symétrie, contraste, anecdote, perspective, ... tout y est. excellente utilisation du NetB et quelle netteté!
j'adore et je la mets dans mon album.

I would not like to be locomotive driver... Gerat b&w composition.

Hi Claude!
Great composition,great lines, curves and title.

Fantastic picture! Great composition and title.

Hi Claude,
Yeah, this is great. Title perfectly represents what the photo is about. I feel myself driving my virtual locomotive in Microsoft Train Simulator and don't have an idea where to go, although I have to choose an exact line. :) Good shot, congrats.

bonjour claude, joli jeu de lignes, profondeur de champs profonde, grande netteté.
Nous sommes prêt pour le voyage.
Très beau sujet

This is an aweseome shot! When I first saw it, it looked unreal!

Nice angle , perhaps the focus should be led to the upper part of the scene.

I love this photo. The lines, curves and geometric patterns is great. Well seen and well taken.

TFS Tracey

very very good picture,
congratulations Claude for this idea.

Lucian.

Very nice pattern/symmetry shot. Well done in B&W with strong composition.

to my fav. ty

The person in charge, better get it right every time! What a puzzle to us! Has an arty lookj to it!

Hi Claude,

rails seem to be easy subject, but after I have seen many photos I changed my mind. Yours is good example of few succesfull shots - first glance tells "it's a collage, of the photo and it's reflection". Careful watching reveals that you have chosen perfectly POV to suggest the symmetry, but it's regular photo. I like the acute angle you have used, shortening the perspective, thus "collapsing" the rails to create the nice, geometrical patterns. Wise choice of b&w focusing attention on shapes and composition instead of colurs which hwere are unimportant. tfs

Marek

Hi Claude,

not easy to create a artwork from a subject like this. Very good idea, excellent result!
Nice title choice.

Compliments!!

Gio

Hi Claude,
Fantastic photo.
Congratulation.

Hi Claude,
simply brilliant. Use of B&W adds some interest. Very sharp and clear tones.

Best regards, Daniel

Hi Claude,

what can I say... Perfectly cropped, ideal symmetry, fitted B&W, and last but not least, great idea. My biggest and most enthusiastic congratulations. TFS,

Hi Claude
Very interested foto, extra B/W.

Hello Claude,
This is well seen!
The composition is cleverly done and close to symmetrical, the frame is full of amazing lines...
Excellent tonality in the black and white conversion, sharp fine details!
