Beautiful details of the rust and the B&W makes it a strong capture. The focus on the chain and diagonal line make a great composition.

This is very interesting - makes me feel sad and lonely though. I looked at your tutorial site - I got to say NICE work. When ever I have made a tutorial it has helped me learn the steps better and stumble across new ones too. Good for you, I know it's a lot of work.

I actually like this... the first time I saw it, it reminded me of back in the day when trains weren't electric... maybe this is electric but still... it made me think of days gone by...
