Railroad Crossing

Is that a metal sign? I wonder how the RAIL ROAD one got that strange pattern?

 

[John Hunt]

It is an old metal sign that is part of a small display at a park that stands where a very small town in Iowa used to be.

I love that rusty old sign and the rail car, and you have nice vibrant, yet realistic colors here, but the composition is throwing me off. Was there a reason you didn't show the tracks? I think the image would feel more complete if we could see the tracks and bottom of the rail car as well as the cool rusty sign. A vertical [portrait] comp may have worked better for this.

Yes there is a reason I didn't include the tracks it's because this is just a display in a park there is only a small section of track under the car. I thought it would look rather stupid with no tracks and no road. That's why I choose the composition that I did.

Sounds like a job for "Content aware scale".
