On the rails again

Good strong composition. I like the stray rock on the top tie - makes the shot look more ‘found’ than created. Because of it I don’t have the feeling that there are two technicians holding reflectors and an artistic director barking directions just outside the frame.

Overall I think the exposure is a bit hot. I would like to see the dominant diagonal shadow a lot jetter. Maybe it just needs another moment or two under the enlarger? Did you print for maximum black?

Sorry for all the spatter but the image has such good bones that I would like to see its potential fully realized.

Thanks Jon. The gravel is almost white in real life.

Just love the acutance and fine hues you bring out in your exposures and processing.
