Hemi - that picture is superb. I'd crop it just above the mountain range and an equal distance below the train where there seem sto be a darker line of grass. The image has a very "soft" feel to it. This is something some photographers go out of thier way to achieve. My sweetie really liked it.
Excellent shot, love how you captured the open and majesticness of the sky, mountains, and grass. The covered hopper string is great too!!!
