Come give me a kiss, a photo from Smaland, Gotaland

Photographer's Note

This is some train-thingy at Växjö central station that I thought had a nice yellow color in the winter-light.

I thought about cloning out the Hertz-sign, but decided to keep it for authenticity. I removed some of the blue cast from the snow with tone-curves. Since this was 400 ASA film it's quite grainy, but I didn't want to take away too much noise with some filter because I would also loose the grass and the texture of the snow then.

I like the graphical look of your composition , Simon - there are so many horizontal lines in it. Yes, it is a nice yellow, outstanding on the background of the white snow. Well done!

Good framing and very good idea, likes the color which contrasts well with snow, original like composition.

Melange d'abstrait et de concret et qui au resultat donne quelque chose de trés correct. J'aime bien le contraste qui se degage de la photo avec ce jaune et blanc.Le sujet pour ma part est bien mis en valeur. Bien vu Simon

Simon, Un sujet un peu abstrait ,surement pour moi mais j'aime beaucoup l'équilibre entre l'ombre et la lumière ainsi que le contraste entre les couleurs. Amicalement/jr

I like the yellow and the yellow Hertz sign compliments it. I would however cropp the top off showing the white prefab building, as it does nothing possitiveto the shot.

I especially like your technical term of train thingy ; P

Its a good shot of something not a lot of us would consider shooting. I like the colour against the snow, and agree with you about hte hertz sign, although none of us would have known if you removed it!

Not too sure about your title, but it gives the shot a bit of humour! Waiting to embrace the train!
