"I'm a professional photographer, and after looking at some of the pictures on railpictures.net, I have no clue as to what they're looking for because their selections lack consistency, in my opinion."

Finally! Thats the thing i notice most, i crop an image nicely, and it gets in from a certain screener. I do a good job on the next crop also, just like i did the last time, and they dont like it. The "high sun" rejection is also very inconsistant. Anyone see this shot?

Oh ya, beautiful lighting. Just because its the heritage unit they let it go..... Clearly the sun is directly above or on the other side of the locomotive.
This shot is different.
