Train Station Wall
#1

I took this shot early one morning while waiting at a train station in Nashville, Tennessee. The sunlight reflected in the downtown building caught my eye, and I was just drawn to the view, but then became more interested in the textures of the wall, fence, and vine when I got closer to it. Any opinions are welcome.

I like it - lovely light and the fence seems so clear that it almost looks surreal. I spent a ton of time in Nashville last year and this year, and this light looks really familiar.

You have some nice colours in the fence and ivy and posts, but the blow out in the centre B/G drags me away a little.

I sometimes have that, and grab a bit of colour from nearest thing and paint it out, and blur it a bit.
But if you like it then leave it.Smile

Your picture has very beautiful colors, they match so nicely. You have the blue and magenta of the morning, and that orange of the rust and the green of the vine matching really well and contrasting with the background... Richness of textures and colors in your picture.

At the beginning I thought that the fence could be slanted, but then I saw the buildings are perfectly right so the fence is like this and I like it even more!! Wink

I like very much the natural look in your picture because the colors shine.

My only suggestion would be to give a bit of sharpening to enhance detail in the vine and the wire of the fence.
