Photo #2 (the quick way to spell "number") shows a bright blue sky in lieu of a grayish cast, "doomsie" dead of winter type of sky. The bright blue feels like spring is near, even in Wis. With the compressed telephot of #1, it looks like the grain car is pushing the engine into the lens. In #2, it is appearant that the diesel has a long, narrowing load behind it that doesn't merely go around the corner out of sight, but disappears into oblivia (where ever that is) by its massive length and narrowing perspective. I have always found "wider" lenses give more canvas for expression.

By the way, I voted for #2, duh.

Both are good shots, I favor #1 more for the composition than anything. Looks a little blurry but timing was good. Number 2 had beautiful color also. Keep up the interesting stories. Although, I'm a little envious of you being able to leave work to go take train pics.

Great shots both of them! I Iiked #1 a little better because it looked like it was really putting the power to it coming through the curve. Thanks Doug

I voted for number 1 because it is the more dramatic shot.
Enjoy

Picture 2 stands out for two reasons. First, I personally like seeing the effect from the super-elevation of the curve. Second, the dark train on the lighter background makes it stand out more than the other, which becomes lost in the dark trees.
