I had a period a long while back where I got some of these, and it was due to something weird happening with my export settings. If the raw image out of the camera is fine from a quality perspective,...

It looks alright to me from an image quality perspective, I'd be more concerned about the wires passing across the lead unit.

You are also missing the reporting mark. Instead of just 6014, include the reporting mark, which I'm guessing is "WAMX 6014".

Also I don't know your area or this particular locomotive, but as far...

Color issues aside, any reason why it's composed so tightly on the left side? Could certainly use some breathing room there imo.

I'd also comment on the composition/balance. The train here is vertically centered which I am not a fan of. I would recommend choosing to either add top or add bottom (depending on preference/what...

Lighting aside, all three suffer from some composition issues with the subject vertically centered with dead space on the bottom. At minimum I would suggest something more closely following the ROT...

I would echo this comment. I can see there might be shadows creeping in on the right side, but I would try a frame with the train as far to the right before the shadow as possible.

Agree with Kevin's comments, and another item worth noting is that just because it's a rarely photographed location doesn't mean that's clear to the screeners or the average viewer. At the end of the...

I've seen the same issue with using different aspect ratio than what the TO24 thumbnail is, but it's usually not as noticeable when it's that small.

As Loyd mentioned, there seem to be a number of issues here that would prevent this being accepted, but fwiw I don't see image quality as the big one. I assume they only picked that because it's the...

I agree with Kevin on his assessment, I think the lighting is good and backlit nose wouldn't be a killer here on a broadside shot. However, I can see what he means with some of people becoming...

That's also a good point. I think I was speaking more about when first starting out with RP or with rail photography in general. I think as you learn and develop your style more this may change, but...

This 100%, could not have said it any better. There will certainly be frustrations in the process, but there are certainly a lot of learning opportunities. Going through RP is one of the biggest ways...

Quality issues aside, that out of camera crop is much more pleasing in my opinion, where the train is not being cut off by the edge of the frame at left.

I think you're right on with your assessment. Tighten it up overall, especially on the left side. And then up the sharpness, personally I find I always need to sharpen more for RP than what looks...

I have no problems with the third, not sure which piece they are considering foreground clutter, but it's a great view.

First one I would probably just try to tighten up the crop, the nose of the...

To me it looks to be leaning slightly to the left, so would rotate CW.



I think this shot looks a lot more promising, but I'd still try and brighten it up a bit more before submitting.

Agree with Joe on needing a bit of rotation, doesn't look quite level to me (looking at the signals especially). Overall, it seems dark/underexposed. The cloudy shots that seem to be accepted are...

Agreed, what went from a bit of looking at maps now becomes a significant investment in sleuthing to determine where a shot was taken. Meaning RP loses a lot of its usefulness in planning trips, etc....
