It simply has to be 16 for me. Great idea, technical skill, and learning of the timing of the crossing to pull it off. A shot I've always wanted to try (at any full barrier crossing) but never have. I hope I can be half as successful if I do. A good spread of entries in general though, all with different takes on the theme.

I thought it was yours :shock:

I have to say, 15 looked simply stunning in the thumbnail for me, but when viewed large I disliked it. Far too much editing (although I don't have the skills to say what has been done!) in my opinion..... Number 1 for me.

16 for me too, with 15 a close second. Normally I'd go for the pretty picture rather than something technically clever, but 16 really is technically clever, and it meets the spirit of the criteria well :)

How do other people compare photos then?

I only open the ones I think I might like from the thumbnail, and then close tabs for ones I think aren't the nicest until I'm only left with one.

I look at them all at full size, unless it's something that has been entered for a joke (the model train last week springs to mind) or it's obviously terrible (the photo of a LC taken from the car dashboard springs to mind). I'll then go back to the main page, open all the ones I thought were worthy of a second look into tabs, then close tabs until I'm left with only one.

No 10 for me I think - really good, and exactly what the theme is about. Then again, I am a P-Way guy, so I'm probably a bit biased... :)

I must also give a mention to 3 and 16.

3 is really interesting and unusual, but it doesn't really fit the category of railway infrastructure.
16 is great, but I think 10 pips it.

I was completely stumped at first, and thought of the idea on sunday afternoon. I only got one chance to get it right when it was dark enough, but had a couple of practice shots when it was a bit lighter :D
