Fred...Your writing (and it is exeptional if I might add) appears in TRAINS so often that you might as well be on the payroll, so I would expect you rush to their defense :-) Seriously, I started this topic and did not do so with the intention of taking a "cheap shot" at TRAINS because I did'nt like the photos that won. Since Charlie D. is the only SPORRS subscriber (that I know of) among the winners, I thought that it would be a good chance for us to comment what we liked or disliked about individual shots without fear of insulting the photographers, as seems to be the problem with our page. Speaking of our page, I was surprised that a shot without a train in it won SOTM !! Don't get me wrong, I liked the shot...but I guess that I'm still too focused on train pictures that include trains and have a hard time choosing a trainless photo over the rest of the images. I'd like to hear more background info on the shot and how it was done.
