Does he know that a train is coming?!

I like it.. but I'm so not coordinated enough to trust myself seated on train tracks for even a moment with a train ANYWHERE within sight or hearing. lol

While I like the concept here, sitting on a working line, with a locomotive approaching (and since I see no signs of a spur/interlocking/etc I assume he is on the same rail as the locomotive) is in plain English, so stupid as to be beyond comprehension! It's also a VERY good way to wind up in front of a magistrate for (whatever the US equivalent of) Criminal Trespass!

 

[PhillipM]

Thanks folks..

 

[Mully]

It is fun to make daring photos ....I like it for that reason.

 

[PhillipM]

Thanks Mully. I wanted the viewers to just sit back and wonder what happens next....

Well the purpose of art is to evoke an emotion and this picture certainly has done this with posters thus far. I like the composition and the contrast but for me the content does say to me that it is very dangerous and to make art in this manner is not a good idea nor should it be promoted. With that being said... well Thanks for sharing

 

[PhillipM]

Nikmal, I respect your opinion as others on the board. To each. Their own.

Peace

I DO like it though sir!! Sorry that did not come across. I would rather not see the subject as much and the emotion it evokes is telling and evocative to say the least. I think that was the intent and well done with that. In what the others said I agree with them for the most part and it is dangerous and I would not trust myself in doing it.

 

[PhillipM]

I DO like it though sir!!

Na,,,

I got cha..

Whether someone likes the image or not, I respect their viewpoint nonetheless.

It's all good.

Back to the Darkroom for a while...

he seems a little old for the Justin Beiber haircut. or too young to call it a "beatles" do.
from a technical standpoint, I like it even though i am not really a B&W fan.

Artistically ... Yawn, trite. Technically ... pretty mediocre. The hands are over-dodged too. Looks like typical high school work.

Not sure it has evoked as much emotion as it has evoked negative response. It is too contrived in composition and for the purposeful "shock" value to make me get all gigglely over it, but that's just one opinion. Perhaps a square crop would help.

I dont normally like train track portraits, but this really works!
