Thanks everybody for your valuable input, I appreciate you taking the time.
The sky in the Railroad image is indeed a little washed out and hazy - this is due to the lighting situation the picture was taken in and It does appeal to my eye (the gradual transition going from relatively dark to fairly bright with the rails leading into the light area) - all respect to your suggestion, Roy, and I may try to do another crop sometime in the future.
If any of you would like to keep an eye on my constantly evolving gallery, you are more than welcome to do so by clicking
