Down at the tracks

Opinions please, the project is landscape, there really aren't any guidelines for the project.

Well, this is really only scratching the surface in terms of landscape ideas. I don't think this is an effective photograph because 1) everybody shoots railroads when they start out. Railroads, cats, and flowers, it seems. I sure as hell did.

2) Little texture. One thing that makes b&w pictures pop is texture.

3) Using a leading line is good, but a diagonal leading line is better. Feels more dynamic. This line is really quite horizontal, which I don't find very interesting.

When you say "horizontal", you actually mean "vertical", right, White?

But all in all I feel what you offer in terms of critique is totally right, so what else is there to offer? What strikes me is that these rails are in a process of being removed, or so it seems, as there aren't even any more sleepers there that might have given some horizontal (and I mean it ) lines to the amount of vertical ones (side of bridge, main railway line, poles).
