This is very nice, I love that you have captured the motion and the railroad crossing with the yield sign as they stand still portray the motion of the car behind it even so much more. This is both interesting and exciting to look at, I used to live by a railroad track as a kid and loved to watch the train as it flew by! It gives off a different kind of energy and you have captured it here, the focus is nice, detail is nice, love the show of the railroad bed, lighting is good. nicely done

Very nice photo for a contest...oh wait you did enter...LOL. Great shot.

The photo is cleverly composed with the railroad yield sign in the foreground and the train speeding by very fast. The motion of the train is VERY apparent. There is no doubt that the train is moving very fast. Great capture.

Now interestingly I started typing all of this before I read the notes as I typically like to do. So we were on board with the Yield sign...LOL.

For me, what I really like about the photo is the contrast between the yield and and blur of the train. As if someone is not going to...LOL.

Great photo and good luck...

I don't think that there is much need for a Yield sign; if one cannot see the blur of the train screeming by then the should not be driving.

You photograph is great! The capture of the blur is wonderful. I like the clarity and focus on the sign, as the train blowes by. Wonderful exposure! The light is very well balanced. You surly have a good effect here. Nice shot!

Interesting photo. I really like how the sign and railroad came out in perfect focus while letting us imagine the train at full speed. Nice job!!

Fantastic shot.

The signage is so clean and crisp, and diffidently this works for a motion blur contest...it is GREAT.

Very nicely done.

yes the sign post has a bit of overkill about it really doesn,t it whilst the title certainly tells the story, the motion blur gives a kind of abstract feel to this interesting composition which has great initial impact but not as much as if you,d stepped out too soon lol-good luck in comp.

Brilliant, just brilliant.
While the whole image looks as though it was set-up for a shot, the viewer knows that it wasn't.
The graffiti on the train creates a nice colour contrats to the simplicity of the surrounding are.
Very very well done.
