Description If all your choices follow a set path, and travel in the same direction

Do you really have a choice, or just the illusion of choice?

--
This picture was taken 20ft up in the air, with one hand and foot on a ladder, and the rest of me streaching out to get the shot...so you have to forgive me if it is not crystal clear

Oh and yes cloud stock provided by the certified and tested *acidicpyxie

Absolutely fantastic. The angle of your shot really adds to the feel. Question though. Why add cloud stock? Why not just enhance what you already had?

Not clear enough? Bah - it looks just fine from here As others have said, the perspective is great - the sweeping tracks and the metaphor of choice - nice job with the planning and execution. Heck - you've put your life on the line for our viewing entertainment - how can we critique that?

What I enjoy the most are the lines of the tracks - how they start to the lower left, sweep over to the right and then curve into the center - they really lead your eyes along the width / length of the shot.

welder [2004-03-19 17:46:23 +0000 UTC]

Excellent. We've all seen railroad photography before, but this one really stands out. I'd say this is a near perfect angle on this sweeping mass of tracks. Great sky in the background, wonderful how the tracks are leading us around to the light. And I really like the metaphor you've implied here about choice. I can't help but this one too.

Gasp! You fav Whore!

Heh just kidding. I am actually quite flattered, I know many do not fav things from the same artist in a row...so I am glad to know you really like the piece, a great compliment for you to do such a thing.

And to be honest this piece I did not even really expect to come out good when I took it, just something I happened to snap while I was climbing this ladder. I love when shots come out much better then expected.

trigness [2004-03-18 12:46:40 +0000 UTC]

I would've never known that the clouds weren't real if you hadn't said anything. They fit perfectly with the surroundings I get the feeling of being close to something yet so far..guess it has to do with the distance. And I don't mean the distance you were from the ground. Again, I can't explain my thoughts.

I'm just going to shut up now.

RedTalonTPF In reply to trigness [2004-03-19 01:05:35 +0000 UTC]

Really? I think all the clouds in my pics look fake, but I guess that is just because I know what to look for. I guess you could mean you are close to understanding an idea, yet you still have a great deal of traveling to do. Or at least you have become aware of something new, just that new thing will take awhile to reach.

And don't you ever shut up, or there will be trouble missy! I love your comments.

Well I have all parts of me attached so I say I am doing pretty good

Actually I am more concerned with dodging non moving objects at the moment, like the ground. You know nothing like throwing yourself at the ground from 15 ft up and missing

You know that reminds me of a story from when I was a kid. Me and some friend were out bike riding for awhile, and I was like super tired. So we start heading back.

Finally get back home or at least close to it, and I am like "ya we are finally home"...then just after that I run into a parked car

So yes you must watch out for those non moving objects...and if you tell anyone else that story I will kill you

Yep never ending indeed, when it disappears around the corner who knows where it goes, put it probably connects to another which connects to another which then might go back and connect to the begining of this one...so yes never ending indeed. Thanks.
