Well seen. The curve of the railway track is used well here.

I perfectly agree with Dave. I'm not sure if you add a bit more contrast would help in making this image more dynamic. On my monitor there's no black.

Very nicely seen and rendered Julie. Moody and evocative. Perhaps a little more contrast, as Chris suggests, would help a bit.

The only thing that could make this image better would be a train coming around that curve... the image has a sense of anticipation to the picture with the viewer imagining that a train will appear at any second to fill the photograph.

A very attractive design!

I haven't tried adding more contrast, but I wonder if it would take away from the fogginess. I wouldn't want to do that.

Great composition and mood, particularly with the semaphore included. I can just imagine a train whipping around that curve, and disappearing into the mist. Good photo for a mystery story.

very cool, i like it

I would leave the contrast as is. The haze adds to the mystery. Even though it is very tempting to follow the tracks, I would not advise it. They look like they are still active.

Well, now that you're back from the game (I hope your team won) I'll add that I enjoy this one too.

Very nice as is. A simple composition and a great mood!

If a picture doesn't have "atmosphere" and evoke feeling, I don't care how technically good it is, it just leaves me flat. You certainly don't have that problem here. Wonderful evocative image Julie. Congrats!

Wonderful! I agree with Allen: "Wonderful evocative image!"
