Melbourne - On The Move (Which version is best?)

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Which is better in your opinion. Before it goes out of the picture or after?

Cheers

I like the first one more, I like seeing all of the train (or more of the train) and I also like seeing all (or most of) the Sudden Death graffiti.

Not keen on the fence so much, but you would of had to be very sneaky and naughty to avoid it in the shot.

Ohh - you shouldn't have said that - I'll have to pop over the fence for a re-shoot :twisted:

I agree with everything Craig said.

The fence is distracting but I like seeing all of the train and all of the graffiti.

Definitely the first. Might have even tried a slightly slower shutter speed to blur the train more, since it's heading obliquely towards you. And it really is true that the grafffiti is (are?) good but the fence is not.
