No I didnt Have the Telephoto lens this day. It was really cold and I was Shivering so alot of that may have been me.
Although in this area those track are probably really wavey.
I like the first shot. It's different. I like the the "contrastiness" of the photo and the fact that the tracks are wavy....It almost reminds me of how on a hot day, items that are far away are blurry/fuzzy but in your photograph, its in reverse. I don't know, I like it!
I like the first shot also and I agree with Stacey about the effect created by the wavy tracks being like heat rising off the rails on a hot summer day. [even though you said it was cold LOL] I really do like it.
