I've been hanging back on commenting about this shot. I wasn't sure whether I preferred this of the next one, but I have to say that I have come down in favour of this one. Great composition and colours, and I think the lack of visual reference points makes the viewer work hard. Well done. ~keithinmelbourne

This one is my favorite. The gradient in the blue adds to the picture. -Doug

Went back & forth between this and the next but couldn't decide which I like more. Well, that means I like both I guess. Good work, d.t.

Perfect. ~Lydia

Lydia, Brent...I think it's tweaked now. ~dtallakson

This is cool DT. There has to be some way this can be tweaked to line it verticle.

I do wish it were perfectly centered... *sigh*

But, still... Lovely. ~Lydia

Thanks Penny, Lydia and tv. It's part of the main Metrolink train station not far from my house. ~dtallakson

So whatsit really? The similar brightness and saturation levels of the blues and greens and their relative proportions make this quite flat and very modernistic since nothing pops out of the picture plane. The brighter gray strip has a strong impact against the colors even beyond Rod's "rude gesture". Well done. -tv

Thanks Rod. ~dtallakson

Almost a rude gesture a:-) The transitions of the green gives this quite a look. I really like this mate. Well done.
