maybe a different sunset, but hard to see, since the main subject in this photo is the train

still, good luck with the contest and thanks for sharing

    Sunset is taking over 2/3rds of space . Train is only a part of the whole picture. The contest does not permit any alterations to original shot :(. Thanks so very much for your time and the fnicereview! I really appreciate it!

I have been on the trains coming from Sacramento and in that very spot a number of times. What an interesting tiny sun. It always intrigues me how the atmosphere and other factors cause the moon and sun to look larger or smaller. Too bad the subtle sunset colors in the fog really do not show up here in what I am looking at. I wonder if the photo needs minor adjustments? Thanks for sharing! Daphne Oberon.

    The contest rules do not permit any adjustments at all. We are supposed to post as shot. :(:(

    Yikes! Some of the contests are like that, however if your photo does not represent what you saw it seems like you should be able to at least auto adjust; in my experience sometimes both art and photos do not look the same after they are posted, so somehow you have to make that happen, perhaps by, say, exchanging a jpeg for png or vice versa. They can come out differently through no fault of yours... Good luck! Daphne Oberon

A wonderful different sunset, like the colors and details and depth, very good sillohettes on the train, like the poles and lights, a pleasure to look at, thank you for sharing, and good luck in the contest, dale

    Your welcome

It is certainly an unusual sunset; especially if that little disc is the sun. It seems more likely that it might be the moon. In any event the image is nicely composed and very unusual. Best of luck in the contest.

Yes, I do think this is a worthy entry into the competition! Your fine composition does a good job of presenting the scene to us. Sharpness and exposure are good. Well done and good luck!

I love sunsets and here you have a sunset with a train. It's a thick cloud cover that filters the sun giving it the appearance of a tiny red ball. This is well focused, clear to view, I like the pink tones with the bit of brightness below it. Well presented! Best to you in the contest !
