très interressante composition. ëtre sur les rails....mais ....de travers. Echapper à un destin tracé. Belle photo de fin d'année pour de bonnes résolutions créatives. Mille bravo. Une certaine communion de pensée avec ma photo d'hier, la tienne est plus réussie.

A good title for a very strong suggestion, a hard image in my mind!

I remember this song, it was quite sad. I was 16 years old at that time. But it sounds good to me. Great memories. Don't forget to look left and right, can be useful ! ;-)
Hope you did spend a nice Christmas time Sharon.

Geez we have something in common in our post, i guess (you'll tell me if you agree...) I love this compo a lot, and the zig-zaguing tracks are so sharp, as much as the horizon is foggy ! Strong contradictions, just like in real Life... And i'll have the song in mind the whole day but that's cool too... Bravo ! And I'm happy you're back, i was kind of missing your photographs ~

I do not know the song ... but this does not prevent me to enjoy this unusual composition of this enigmatic figure, the lights twinkling on track ...

Great composition as usual Sharon. Life is made of crossroads, decisions... sometimes if you to listen to your heart and others the reason. Excellent piece of work!

Yvonne from Connecticut, United States
Amazing composition! Using B/W processing increase the drama and intention of the photo. The quote is prefect. I had to go find the song, which fits the mood so perfectly! Thank you for sharing.

SOUL AFLAME from The bosom of Mother Nature, United Kingdom
On a minor note first, Sharon... Just recently this song featured on a TV show and my wife had never heard it, though an old favourite of mine. I had to download a naff YouTube video for her and then the full song on Limewire and back came the memories of the eighties for us both.
The photograph is simply awesome. A still from a Hollywood film, powerful, unforgettable. Superb photography, as always. So many possibilities, so many scenarios........

Steve Rice from Olympia, United States
Change your heart but get off the tracks! This is a strong image. The low angle and the almost graphic man, all in black, make it so. A brilliant piece of work.

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Oh Sharon, you must talk him how of it...show him how wonderful he looks in the photo and that should do it ;)

Fabulous. Wonderful leading lines. The stark silhouette is terrific.

Steven from Chicagoland, United States
A unique perspective that really makes this a great capture! I love the symmetry seen in the railroad ties and railroad tracks and the vanishing horizon; all work very well here.

mo.langel from Courtelary, Switzerland
Excellent composition Sharon, but very dangerous, a train can hide the other one from it! Very beautiful B/W and perspective!

Reno from Madrid-Paris, Spain
Great line going like life to knew horizons and those pants and shoes staying in the fronteer, like in an indecision posture. Very good abstract.

A very serious image, composed as a rock, blunt. I really love it!!

Very philosophical and artistic shot with too much power and value of not only good photography but also of general art.

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
Something about the person's shoes and standing on a railroad track make me think of a change of track, change of career, or standing at a crossroads of making decisions. Beautiful shot, I like the meanings in it.

Self-Indulgence from Chicagoland, United States
Nice lyrics to go with the image. I really like the composition here.. the facelessness.. the pose. The person really does seem to be thinking.

there's a story here and I want to know what it is. very nice.

Seraphine from San Francisco, United States
such a well-dressed man standing on railroad tracks.
watching the train go by. i wonder if he will turn
and follow the tracks, or if he will turn around and go home.

Chris Pereira from San Jose, CA, United States
great shot! i don't know where to begin, I really like the way the tracks move your eye through the frame, I really like the placement of the horizon and how everything just disappears into the fog. I like how the subject is at the edge of the frame, that creates visual tension within the composition, and the train and the way the subject is dressed gives me the atmosphere of england in the late 1800s :)

Great composition... And nice invitation, but not so easy.
