THE TRAIN, a photo from West Bengal, East

Photographer's Note

Hello friends, coming back after a long time. This is an old post from our trip to Bindu, a small place near the border of Bhutan and India. This was taken from a moving train, on the way to New Mal Junction station. The curvature of the train line and the background beauty attracted me to take the snap and shortly after the snap I understood that taking this type of snaps is too risky, because I just avoided collision with one of the signal posts on the side of the rail track!

Hi Sayan,
The scene is really wonderful with lush green grass field and bending rail track.Amazing POV u've with a good depth.But the frame is very awkward.A thinner frame would be better I think.

Ambar

Hi Sayan,
Good to see you back after such a long time! I thought I would never see a post again :) Welcome back. This is a very picturesque shot. The overcast sky, the greenery and the moving train all form a dreamy mood which has been captured quite well. Even though this is from a moving train, the sharpness is very good. However, next time you might not want to take this type of shot and put your life in danger!
Well done,
Shaeri

Nice to see you posting again!!!Welcome back!!! This is a beauty. The open green fields and the view of the train looks great.I think the overcast sky has helped your cause here, it has provided a good contrast to the bright greenery.
Great shot!!

Dear Sayan
After a long time indeed! Good work with the perspective of the turning train. The colours are excellent with the green of the fields contrasting with the deep green of the hills and the dark clouds. I can almost see you hanging out of window to take this very good shot.
Best Wishes

Hello Sayan,

For the smooth curves created converging into the horizon lengthy trains. How fortunate it was that you avoided a colliding with post,however, while shooting this lovely photograph.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Thats a very neat and wonderfully well captured shot Sayan. yes there indeed are dangers involved at such places which one must guard against. But you have done a superlative job indeed and a very fine presentation.
