This is the first time I have ever seen a train on this line.

Nice shot Glen! Perfect angle of the CNs'. Nice lighting to, it turned out perfect, I see why it was 'good enough' to get on rp.net. LOL

[fuzzybroken]

Nice picture! Tho that bridge doesn't look like it could support those locomotives!!!

[Glen Ellyn]

Thanks for the complements guys.

FUZZYBROKEN: The bridge shape is adted back to the early 1900's. It has been fixed a couple of times, but it is very old. So I agree, it doesn't look like it could hold those engines, let alone the train.

Wow. Great shot.

The lighting is perfect, there is action, the background is great. The bridge is crumbling...you did it!

Great photo, and Congrats to you[:D] on your 2nd photo!!. I have only one photo on the rp.net database http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=70730 , because they have rejected over a dozen photos in my quest for a second photo[:(]. Oh well, I'll get mine sometime, I guess![:)]

[blhanel]

I recognized that location immediately. My shot of it is terrible in comparison; of course I was doing 60-70 MPH on a cloudy day through a tinted window at the time.

Anything in the least bit Artistic is totally subjective to those that are viewing it. While every artist believes his efforts outshine all those of his competition....Art is in the eye of the beholder and RailPictures,net has standards they aim to uphold. From one who only views their efforts....THEY DO A GOOD JOB! The pictures they accept and publish credit the hobby of Rail Photography.

It's a great photo, Glen_Ellyn, but it's not like you managed to defeat the Hounds of Hades to get that shot accepted...

You prove my point..."its in the eye of the beholder"!!! SO how does a site like Railpictures have any room to judge?!?! "Only what we consider good will be accepted, the heck with all the 'crappy' shots". So there are no standards, my standards are completely different from your and everony elses out there! "EYE OF THE BEHOLDER"

[UPTRAIN]

I really like the pic, good job.

When it is YOUR site you can publish everything that comes through the door if you want. When it is THEIR site, they publish what they want. Live with it, improve your quality or get your own site.

That over-under pic is cool, but those dang poles kill it, lol.

Looks good Glen Ellyn - now to celebrate you ought to go over to e-bay and try to locate one of the Hafner stations with your screen name lithoed on the side. [:)]

As to the comments about Railpictures picture criteria I don't always agree with their criteria but I do think their screeners do a pretty good job of keeping to the same set of criteria. I've had several pictures accepted there and I've had dozens more rejected. On one occasion I did query them about the reason for rejecting a particular picture because as near as I could tell it had met their requirements. The screener who had rejected the picture replied with a brief but very helpful explanation and I was able to apply that additional information to my next round of submissions which resulted in 4 out of 8 shots being accepted.

As for the rejects - well, as has been noted, preferences with respect to things like pictures are subjective. There are any number of pictures I've taken which, while they didn't and wouldn't meet Railpictures criteria still give me a sense of accomplishment and pride and which delight others who view them.
