Premium Photo Competition 2020 1 : Entry Number 13

This photograph is best admired in large size, because at that moment you become part of the photo and the exciting moment of being a train, being on a train and photographing a train at the same time. The colors, the composition, the simplicity, and yet sophisticated beyond what we have seen elsewhere, is what make this photograph the winner of this I-SHOT-IT Compeition.

I shot this photograph while on a trip in Alaska. We were riding the McKinley Explorer, and I was standing where they had an area to go outside on the last train. I was watching intently at the scenery for pictures, when I suddenly noticed the reflection off of the side of the train. I took a few quick shots, and then waited for the train to turn, so I could get this illusion of the train going in two directions. I shot this with my Nikon 7200 and my zoom 35-80 at 55mm. I used Lightroom to add more contrast. This photograph is not much different than the original photo.
