They will delete photos from oldest to newest until the account is at 1000 photos.

I'm somewhat pissed myself and am contemplating what to do next. Part of me thinks it would've been more logical...

You're not paying for GIMP, you're paying for the CD and for the fact it's on Amazon. The program is otherwise entirely free: https://www.gimp.org/downloads/

What's all the speckling on the locomotive - dirt and grime? That's the only thing in the image that resembles any kind of noise, and I assume the screeners were looking at that. Might be worth...

Yup - tried to rescue a blown-out spot and turned it into a flat, featureless grey. Great photo apart from that minor criticism, though.

I'm gonna disagree on the compositions - the first one is too tight; in the second one you have the pole line, mesas in the background and the rails provide a better lead-in. The blown headlights are...

Flickr was horrendously slow for several months following the big site revamp a few years ago, but it's much better now.

That, or I've just gotten used to it. :D

It's certainly no less grainy than a particular shot sitting at the TO24 right now. :lol: There is a bit present in the sky, however.

You might have some compositional issues, though. There's a...

Agree with what others have said. Too tight on all sides and the train should be a bit closer to the bridge (but not "touching" the structure!) to better fill in the space. The lighting is what it...

Wow. The difference between the two shots is quite something.

Heh. I had a similar photo rejected a while back for being too dark, though I didn't bother contesting it:

Looks pretty good to me given the conditions. I wonder if darkening the sky a bit, and then selectively brightening some of the darker spots around the locomotive and station platform might help the...

Looks very greenish on my monitor, and could probably do with a bump in contrast and some CCW rotation.

The Hudson River is often a murky reddish-brown colour and looks alright to me in Joseph's image, but I agree with everything else that's been said re: colour and composition.

Yup - as a general rule, some sharpening is always needed after resizing. The effect of sharpening is much less pronounced on a full-size image, and downsizing the image will pretty much negate it.

On my end, all the photos are looking quite soft. Apologies for the basic question, but are you doing much in the way of sharpening after resizing the images?

Just looks like a blurry, poorly lit going-away shot to me, to be honest. I'd let this one go.

For what it's worth... I found the screen on my ASUS laptop (a K75D with a 17" monitor) was way, way biased towards the blue end of the spectrum out of the box. Through some tweaking I've brought it...

I agree with the others that the dark nose is nice, but I think this shot may have worked better with just enough sidelight to bring out some of the detail in the bridge piers and girders. As it is,...
