This is the photo critique section. 

The grammar critique section is elsewhere.

Please take your frivilous comments there.

Hmmm...

How about putting it this way then-?

As I was unable to decide clearly which of the two photos was the better (both having good points, but neither one decidedly better than the other), I opted to select Mike's photo for nothing other than the frivolous reason of Erik's incorrect word choice.  I then added a smiley to make it obvious that I was not being serious.

I sincerely hope that not all railfans that post here are as unfriendly as your post appears to be.

Datafever,

My apologies to you.  I somehow missed the smiley.  Your post was well done. 

Not exactly the type of welcome you deserved.  Again, I sincerely apologize.  Welcome to the forums.

Thank you for your warm welcome, zardoz.  I accept your apology and look forward to spending an enjoyable time here.  While I am new to the forums, I am not new to the site.  But I just recently stumbled across "Trackside with Erik and Mike" and devoured all of the archived volumes.  (Where are the missing volumes?)  I have enjoyed them greatly and plan to purchase a digital camera soon.
