Atop Beacon Rock
Copyright ©2007, Tyler S
After hiking up this mammoth rock, I wander my eyes to gaze out at the vast Columbia River and surrounding peaks. Then, the ground shakes and I notice a train approaching. It goes right under my feet and off to Vancouver. What a great day to have a camera!
Thank you,
Tyler S.

If he straighten the towers, the train will be squeezed to the left and the whole image may be off-balanced... Maybe not. I am just babbling. What does it look like if you rotate it the other way? Just curious.

Tyler, I think this is great! A nice aerial view without being TOO far away. I would try to straighten the vertical a bit on those towers as has been mentioned. If you don't want to rotate and crop, you could try Transform/Skew or Transform/Warp (PS CS2), or perhaps a combination of slight rotation/cropping plus Transform. It shouldn't take much.
I love this image for the serpentine train and the different levels/contours of the land. But what I like even more than those elements are the colors, with the two blue cars on the train picking up the blue color of the little ponds. I also like the way we get to see the engine of the train, but not the caboose--I can imagine this to be a very, very long train and it reminds me of counting train cars when I was a child on family car trips.
