Well pointed out Mike. I have appreciated your photography ever since "Steel Rails Across America" was published in 1989 and I declared the Americans have finally arrived! Returning to your comment,...

My guess is that the content was why the photo screener gave it the green and why it has more views than any of mine probably will ever have. Yes, at least it has a well lit nose! I do find it quite...

I agree with Jim nothing wrong with the lighting in your green summer shot. It isn't a good example of high sun at all. Nothing wrong with the lighting in my photo either. That was the feedback I got...

Ballasted deck on railroad trestles

I'm curious about North American railroad trestles with ballasted decks which seems normal practice. Has this always been so? Here in NZ we have many...

Thanks Loyd. My preference is for the summer shot simply because of the trees being a deep green and the bogies of locomotive aren't visible anyway. My shot is most definitely NOT high sun. The...

You might be right but, again, high sun was not the reason either photo was rejected for. The Silver Fern photo was at 12:05 but just a few days after winter finished. Too bad about the late running...

Thanks guys. The issue is then incorrect rejection reason being used. It could have been rejected for poor composition with a remark. There are photos in the database with even more power lines going...

There is light shadow from grab irons visible on nose. Maybe there's something else wrong with it?

You hit the nail on the head. Screener preferences rob viewers of shots they would like both in screening them out and discouraging contributors to show shots that are out of the ordinary. I finally...

Not just a dark nose but so what?

Here's a photo that's doing well on another site that I wouldn't dare try here. It would likely face rejection on a number of reasons, especially the "cloudy day common motive power" reason. The rule...

What can be done for blown out white on the cars? Yes the nose is too dark for RP. Going wider may have helped, as Kevin pointed, out but there wasn't time to do anything with the grass which would...

Yep. Add to that the old favorite - composition being somehow "awkward." Not always a killer rejection but easily used to harshly screen almost any photo that doesn't fit what RP owners want. If none...

As far as over here is concerned, who gives a rat's butt about this, or about RP at all? Probably just I do - because it is opportunity lost ,like Jean-Marc noted, for there to be a global database...
