Tren a las nubesby *Cansounofargentina

Photography / Transportation

I took this photo when I went in the North of Argentina. It's the "train to the clouds" on the viaduct La Polvorilla.

Oh man, that looks amazing. Even the shadow from the bridge helps out the composition - love how the train is colored like that, and how it contrasts against the natural earthy colors, and that blue looks SO beautiful up along the top there.

Taking a picture of another guy taking a picture just adds so much interest to it too - it's like in a movie, where you see a character take a picture of some interesting landscape, but the filmmaker wants to present how picture-esque it is by showing the wonderful landscape behind the character. The mountains and bridge look wonderful, and that guy with the camera just pushes that idea forward.

The window on the right could probably stand to be cropped out though - my eye never wanders over there, and it's just sort of distracting. I don't like it.

Anyway, all 5 stars because I hate having to quantify things.

What do you think?

This is really interesting! The angle here is very interesting reminds me of a rollercoaster with this crazy camera angle.

~Lexi247 Mar 10, 2013

Creative picture! I like the angling and that you were able to capture the rest of the train. My only comment here is that it might've helped if the camera was a little farther from the train, but again this probably can't be helped

Great work!

To the clouds? How high up does it go? This bridge looks really tall itself!

wow! i love the curved angle, it certainly makes the image more interesting XD.

What a great photograph!! The way you've taken it, with another photographer in the frame, definitely makes the viewer wonder what he's seeing, in addition to appreciating the lovely background we're seeing with the train.

The colors of the train offset the natural tones of the mountain perfectly--in fact, if you wanted to make this piece pop a bit more, you could adjust the brightness, contrast, or saturation (or a bit of all three) to make those colors really vibrant.

There's a good balance of light and dark areas, too, although the upper left corner feels a bit empty (which isn't really your fault!). If you cropped that side just a bit, it would help bring balance to the composition.

An interesting shot, well-executed, and with a stunning background. Keep up the good work!

What a great clever shot! I couldn't tell from the thumb what it was at all, but as soon as I opened it up it made me smile. I see some others suggesting cropping that metal window and its glare out, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you had more photo to the left to utilize or the original photo file is large enough to crop quite a bit out. Also, due to the time of day this was shot, the image itself is washed out and a little flat looking. A little sharper, a little more contrast or saturation would really make this pop! Other than that, I love it. Like I said, it totally made me smile.
