POTW 25th February 2014 - Selection by Photohiker

This weeks POTW selection is brought to you by Michael (photohiker), nicely done mate.

I've selected Ozimax's train shot, "Sydney Bound":

I don't know how he did it, but this train just jumps off the screen at you. The composition's simplicity, the choice of B&W and the alignment of those clouds all work together. Very well done!

Honourable mention to Remorhaz for his interesting project of One lens, one hour, one location. I'm hoping to see some great images born from this creative restriction.

Cheers,

Michael

I agree it is a very nice picture and it works well in B&W. Good photo and good selection.
