Once again, I'm in the tiny minority, but folks the UP shot is excellent and just like 99,000 other 3/4 on wedge shots going back into the dawn of railroads: a nice clean orderly photo. The BNSF shot is, on the other hand, a *great* photograph. Look at all the texture, color, and movement: the art/inscription/hieroglyphics/grafitti on the bridge, the water, the sign sticking up in the sky, the locomotives leaned into the curve on the bridge, and right there in the middle a Warbonnet. Whichever of you took this photo should be proud even if only 20% of the viewers liked it. I guess - to put it into a musical context - it is a bit like comparing a nice CW song (predictable 3 chord progression about a woman gone bad) to the soaring improvisation of free form jazz - say Coltrane at his height. As I've watched this contest for the last 75 editions it seems that the photo that docments always beats out the photo that expresses. Interesting.<br /><br />Vive la differance<br /><br />Robert
