Which one do you guys like the best? _ Watertower Train Tracks

[runnah]

Undecided if I like the color or B&W. Also which angle is the best.

#1 My personal favorite

#2 I like the patterns of the trestle but think the tress make it too busy.

#3 Better Cloud action

#4 Close to #1 but different processing.

I agree with your choices. The warm light on the rails and snow really makes the first one. The others have more texture and detail and I think work better in B&W. I like #2 best for the variety of textures and shapes in the ties, telephone poles and trees. I might push for a little more contrast in the mid-tones. #3 doesn't do much for me - yeah, nice sky, but it really isn't about the sky, at least to me, and I don't like the way the rails are clipped by the right edge.

#1 as well. The orange way in the back gives it real depth.

#1 for me is the best of the series, closely followed by #3.
Both these have very strong lead-in lines coming from the bottom of the frame.
The light in #1 and the less-busy POV gives it the edge over #3.

Thanks for the feedback.

Should I try making them all color?

O.ne is by far the best, warm sky draws me down the tracks.

Ken said it all. I agree that I like #2 the best. The different lines created by the train tracks and telephone poles lead my eye nicely around the shot.
Looks like you had a fun day.

I like the last one the best! The lines draw my eyes into the image in a good way!

Indeed, productive as well.

Thanks everyone else.

Room for one more? I like 1 AND 3. I like the extra detail of the re-rail point in 3, but I'm a train guy so others may not care. What does 3 look like in color?

 

[runnah]

Better?

#3 in color ftw...if you remove the line 1/3 down on the right.

 

[Rick58]

Better?

Yep, I like this. Do you have any room to slide over to the right just a hair. You're just clipping the tracks

 

[Dikkie1]

I'd go for the color one !!
