Welcome to the challenge Emma, You have done a good job of the composition. Very nicely placed the subject following the one-third rule. Included the warning signs too. Its good idea that Paul gave the camera to you for shooting. I hear that he met Rod just before this... Thank goodness that the camera was in safe hands. The photoshoots should be handled by someone who's stable in such situations. LOL -Cat

Very creative Paul! Warning: Perhaps when you meet Rod again you should pay careful attention of how he is pouring your drink! Great shot. jano

I have nothing new to add. But I too would like to say how much I like this shot.

To Rod & Paul: forget Rod's suggestion of you both going to counseling after meeting again, better you should both take up counseling BEFORE you meet again. LOL Both creative shots, both of you dare devils belong friends together. BTW, I just LOVE the warnnig signe in the image :-) Markjay

Thanks all,
Yep this is a disused line but it was an odd sensation to lie down and place my head on the rail even though i was pretty sure a train wasn't coming around the corner.

Andy, you got me mate. We were long way from home and i had neither tripod nor remote so i told Emma where to point and not to touch any buttons apart from the one and it worked like a charm. Probably against the rules but hey i like to live dangerously and break some rules...sometimes...i think:>)

Why is it that within a couple of days of meeting each other I try & set fire to meself & you go & put yer head on the railway line. I think the next time we meet we had best go straight to counselling:-) Nice shot Paul.

hahaha... it's surely more accurate than the Internet.... is it a dead rail? It looks like that, since the steel surface should look shiny...

LOL. I love the warning sign behind you. theFly
