Shel,
I'm sorry but I have to disagree with most of your comments. A train
pulling in or out would have ruined the shot as far as I am concerned.
The wall is needed in the shot for the correct balance. As to "what's
the story?", well that is for you to decide. You obviously find none,
I find several.
John,
I would have done a few things differently though. I would have done a
6x4 landscape crop slightly tighter loosing most from the bottom and
left and printed slightly darker. I also would have tried to loose the
person walking between the 2 in the foreground. Look here for my
version - sorry for any liberties I have taken.
