I like the selective use of color. I hope you moved fast once you saw it coming! #364142Janet S Weaver February 06, 2004

Great capture, Matt! nice in black and white!! #364615Matt T. Duncan February 06, 2004
Thanks a lot everybody for the comments. I don't think the guy driving the train liked me on the tracks very much because he kept blowing his horn at me. LOL. Good luck to everybody with the contest! #365284Damian P. Gadal February 06, 2004
Nice shot! We've had about 15 people killed locally by trains - so, you won't catch me trying this. #365289Damian P. Gadal February 06, 2004
Nice shot! We've had about 15 people killed locally by trains - so, you won't catch me trying this. All in the last year! One was a tourist I think, riding her bike with headphones on, some guy jumped out of his truck and tried to get her attention, but it was too late - not much left of her and all in just a few seconds... #365295Matt T.

Wow. Thats horrible. Where did this happen? I shot this in Missouri. #365327Damian P. Gadal February 06, 2004
Here in Santa Barbara - California. We've had about four deaths by train in the last couple of months and one near miss of a police officer who pushed a guy out of the path of the train - seems the guy was trying to kill himself. #365423Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
